The goal of this randomized controlled study was to examine the effects of a 8 weeks innovative training regime (stochastic resonance whole-body vibration [SR-WBV] and virtual virtual games [VG]) in the skilling up phase on physical performance and strength in elderly in need of care population.
Sensorimotor and strength exercise are methods to increase strength & power in the field of geriatrics. The question that arise what exercises are best suited to and most effective for elderly in need of care individuals. Such populations are advised first to enter a "skilling up program" before more traditional forms of training exercises are implemented.
Goals in the skilling up phase: improvement in neuromuscular control, postural control and strengthening of large muscle groups of the lower extremity.
The aim of the study in the skilling up phase:
Study the effect on physical performance Study the effects on muscle strength.. The participants will be recruited in Canton Bern - Switzerland and will be randomly allocated to an intervention group or sham group.

| SR-WBV | Device | Participants will undergo a training program set over eight weeks, three times a week with 3 to 6 Hz, Noise 4. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Physical performance | Short physical performance battery (SPBB): The SPBB examines 3 areas of lower extremity function: standing balance (semi-tandem stand, side-by-side stand, full tandem stand), usual walking speed and ability to stand from a chair. These areas represent essential tasks important for independent living. | after 8 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Isometric maximum voluntary contraction (IMVC) | It will be evaluated by isometric MCV at 90 degree angle in the knee joint. | after 8 weeks |
| Submaximal maximum voluntary contraction (subIMVC) | It will be evaluated by isometric RFD at 90 degree angle in the knee joint. |
