Side alternating vibration training in patients with mitochondrial disease: a pilot study

Abstract Background Side alternating vibration training (SAVT) is a mechanical oscillation using a vibrating platform that simulates exercise. We hypothesized that patients with mitochondrial myopathies, who experience muscle weakness, may see an improvement in muscle power with SAVT. Methods Patien...
