Percentage change in fatigue.

<p>From baseline to post intervention (three month assessment) for each participant in the whole body vibration group (WBV) and the control group (CON) where a negative change indicates less fatigue. Percentage change was greater in the WBV group (p = 0.06).</p

Percentage change in whole body bone mineral density.

<p>From baseline to six month follow up for each participant in the whole body vibration group (WBV) and the control group (CON) where a positive change indicates improved BMD. Percentage change was greater in the WBV group (p<0.001).</p
