Low Intensity Vibration Therapy

**Semantic type:** Therapeutic or Preventive Procedure

**Definition:** The use of a low magnitude (<1 g), high frequency (30 Hz) signal to mitigate deleterious effects of estrogen deprivation on both bone health and muscle function. A low intensity vibration can be delivered synchronously to the lower extremities by a platform, transmitting the signal throughout the skeleton, recapitulating some of the mechanical stimulation experienced during exercise.
