Parkinson\u2019s disease, multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions can affect muscle strength, balance, coordination, walking and movement control. Symptoms may also include muscle stiffness, tremor, spasticity and increased fatigue. Training aims to support smoother and safer movement and maintain functional capacity in everyday life. The Finnish Current Care Guideline for Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/a> recommends beginning regular physical activity as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed. Rehabilitation can improve walking speed, stride length and balance control and reduce falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Plate training uses whole-body vibration to activate the neuromuscular system while individually selected exercises are performed on the platform. Training can be divided into short periods and performed with hand support or other assistance when needed. We can practise weight shifting, postural control, stepping, lower-limb strength, balance and rising from a chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2023 meta-analysis of nine randomised trials involving 346 people with Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/a> found that whole-body vibration training improved motor function and walking stability. A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 studies<\/a> found that vibration training improved fundamental gait parameters in people with Parkinson\u2019s disease. A meta-analysis of seven trials involving people with multiple sclerosis<\/a> found that whole-body vibration training increased knee-extensor strength. The Finnish Current Care Guideline for multiple sclerosis<\/a> also states that exercise improves motor function and reduces MS-related fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Plate does not replace medication, physiotherapy or other multidisciplinary neurological rehabilitation, but it is well worth incorporating alongside them as individually tailored training that supports functional capacity. During training, your diagnosis, the stage of your condition, medication timing, balance, muscle stiffness or spasticity, sensory changes, fatigue and any mobility aids are all taken into account. Training begins when your medical condition is stable and exercise has been assessed as safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
