Introduction. A technique used in physiotherapy, but still underinvestigated, is the use of the Russian current as an aid in the improvement of balance. Aim. To verify the influence of the Russian current applied to the rectus femoris on balance in healthy and sedentary individuals. Material and methods. A cross-sectional clinical trial was performed at the Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná – Unioeste, in the city of Cascavel – PR. The sample consisted of 20 healthy female subjects aged between 18 and 25 years, equally divided into two groups where group 1 was placebo and group 2 treatment. Initially, the proprioceptive evaluation was performed by means of a functional test (the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT)) and stabilometry using a baropodometer. Russian current was then applied to the femoral rectum of both limbs simultaneously for 2 weeks, 5 days a week. Results. No significant differences were found analyzing the variables, but the elevated effect size points to clinical relevance of Russian Current in functional assessment. Conclusion. The use of the Russian current in the rectus femoris did not present significant alteration on balance.

Introduction. The use of whole-body vibration (WBV) has increased in the therapeutic field for patients with osteoporosis, however, there is still some controversy about its real effects. Aim. to perform a systematic review on the use of WBV for improving bone mineral density and effects of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Material and methods. the search was conducted by two researchers in the MEDLINE/PubMED and SciELO databases. It was included in the study clinical trials that dealt with the influence of vibration platform treatment on osteoporosis in the Portuguese and English languages published since 2006. Results. Ten selected clinical trials were found in a total of 405 articles. There are heterogeneous results owing to the divergences of the study. Six articles presented benefits of treatment with WBV in bone parameters, one article with changes in balance and muscle strength and three with no effects after treatment. Conclusion. It is concluded that the use of WBV was presented as an option in the treatment of osteoporosis, however, studies using homogeneous methodologies are needed to compare the actual benefits of using them.
