Introduction: This study analyzed the effects a counterclockwise oscillating vibration platform has on the community dwelling older adult's balance and postural sway. The current literature is mixed in regards to the effects that vibration platforms can have on improving balance and postural sway, however, there are no existing studies that look at the effects of a counterclockwise oscillating vibration platform. Previous studies investigated vertical and horizontal vibrations. Methods: A total of 34 subjects (mean age of 80 +/- 7.57 years) completed the entire protocol. Each subject completed a Mini-Mental Evaluation, ABC Balance Confidence Scale, and the CDC4 SWAY Medical Balance Protocol prior to participating in the intervention for baseline measures. The intervention was over a five-week time period, which required subjects to stand on the vibration platform for five minutes a day, for four days a week. At the end of the five-week protocol, the ABC Balance Confidence Scale and the SWAY Medical Balance Protocol were re-measured. Results: The results showed a statistically significant difference for increase in the ABC Balance Confidence Scale. There was a numerical increase in postural sway, however it was not statistically significant. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant increase in balance confidence per the ABC Balance Confidence Scale. Average scores on the SWAY Balance test improved, but not to a statistically significant level. This is possibly due to brevity of protocol duration or high overall balance levels of those participating.
