So, after reading the most recent posts above, it seems that the VIBMOR study indeed did not support efficacy of Marodyne or other similar vibration plates......The two mentioned above are different from all the others because they have a very wide range. At the low end, similar to Marodyne. But they can also be set to high amplitude and frequencies from low to high, not just 30 hz. I have one and I am using it on a low, safe setting to rehab my hip so I can start doing the proven (free) weight -bearing ex that IS effective. As I get stronger, I will probably increase amp and freq to improve muscle strength. The way I see it, at $399 , it's totally worth the effort. It is definitely helping with any pain I had with mobility. Helping.....not totally curing, but I will take that!
