Objectives: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a bone fragility disorder associated with reduced muscle size, dynamic muscle function and mobility. This paired randomised controlled pilot study assessed the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) training on bone density and geometry, muscle size and function, mobility, and balance in children with OI.Methods: Twenty-four children (5–16 years) with OI types 1,4 and limited mobility (defined as a Childhood...
