Excellent review and very helpful. I have a life pro plate because it was more affordable for me. I found that the unit also helps with balance. I don’t just rely on this unit, X3 bands, peloton, yoga, and diet. I follow a carnivore diet. I am a small frame woman. 103 pounds , 5 feet tall, BMI 20, fat 11 pounds muscle mass around 85. Being small frame, maintaining bone density is an important factor in my fitness plan. I am close to 70 in age.

Thank you for a great review. Wish I would have heard it before I bought my maradyne a couple of years ago. I bought my power plate in 2003 and I've never had any detrimental health problems because of it. Repairs in that amount of time have been minimal and the customer service wonderful. I've had on and off mechanical problems with the maradyne since I purchased it. Customer service has been good. They said I could send it back for a repair but since the problem is not consistent I haven't done that. For the record I'm a quite healthy 75 year old with no significant health problems however I do have osteoporosis.

Wonderful analysis Dr Lucas! My practice has seen a trend of perimenopausal women with osteopenia & fractures. I use the Power Plate at my gym. I am a dancer, so I actually dance on it) hopefully that is ok) along with sitting on it to do abdominal exercises, and I don’t think you clarified if sitting on it is o.k, but the Power Plate site has exercises for a core workout. What I see at my gym are people using a very high vibration. When the trainer first showed me how to use it he said “ The higher the better “. So I would imagine some of the ill effects ( headaches, vertigo) are from people improperly using the settings. I have been on Power Plate for 7 months and have lost 2% of my body fat without changing my diet ( but I do lift, dance, walk, Zumba, yoga, and try not to ever over eat, but keeping off the fat & building muscle is a constant challenge for most women over 50.

Yes, it is necessary to bend your knees slightly.

I just finished watching episodes 1, 2 and 3 of this series, as you suggested. I notice that Drs. Rubin and Conviser discuss continuous use of the plate in 10 minutes or longer sessions, and neither of them mention shorter alternating intervals of vibration and rest. The couple of studies that I've read on WBV and BMD involve study participants standing continuously on the plate for 10-15 minutes, with or without exercise, and intervals of rest and vibration are also not mentioned. So when you stated in episode 3 that "most people in this space" use the plate in intervals of, typically, one minute of training, one minute of rest, in order to "give themselves a break," I wondered if this is a preference or if this suggestion / proposal is evidence based? Are there studies not mentioned here that indicate that use of WBV in intervals of active use and rest result in increased BMD? Thank you for clarifying.

EXCELLENT - thank you!! I've been following Marodyne for many years and have always found the fact that they ran their own study - and their fearmongering about competitors' machines was extremely problematic. I'm a tiny human (4'10", under 80 lbs) and have pretty severe osteoporosis though have never ever fractured (Dexa from 2022 was -4.5 hip, -3.3 spine - I consider those numbers to be pretty good because they didn't go down too much from 2017. I also have pretty severe scoliosis - double major (approx. 48-degree curves both thoracic & lumbar). I expect my DEXA numbers to be even better when I get a new one this year because, over the last 2 years, I've been exercising MUCH more (added lots of resistance training), and eating more protein (at least 1 gram per 1 lb of body weight - mostly through animal sources). Back to vibration... after my own research over the years, and having recently gone to Physical Therapy for a knee issue (coming from my weak hips), where they had me doing some work on a vibration plate for balance/stability & strength training (mostly stepping up & down on it), I decided to go and buy a Lifepro Rumblex Plus which was just like the one I used in PT. It was less expensive than the Power Plate, but has the capability of at least 30 hertz in pulsation mode plus and it also has the oscillation mode which is wonderful for balance. I LOVE IT!! I have been using it daily (sometimes 2x) to exercise on (squats, step up & down on it, arm weights, etc). I find it loosens me up & energizes me so that after I've done 10 minutes on it, I get on my treadmill & walk at a faster, peppier pace than if I hadn't used the vibration plate. I've also used the plate at the end of the day - not doing much on it and afterward, it makes me feel as though I've had a massage - very relaxed. So, will it help with bone density? I'm confident it will help - it seems to surely activate muscles (why else would I feel so loosened up on it - even when doing nothing other than standing on it)? It's also a great way to do some stability/balance training - and it feels like a massage!! :)

With absolutely no evidence, I make the assertion that jumping is the best way to increase bone density. I started with tiny little baby jumps, and believe me I have severe osteoporosis, and eventually achieved 2 hertz for a few minutes at a time. This has the added benefit of radically increasing my vo2 max and moving a few liters of blood around. I do have a vibration plate (cheep) and it is wonderful for my digestion and feels nice. Otherwise I am unsure of the benefits. My retinas are still attached and my dementia is no worse than usual. Next I plan to start walking in a weighted vest, which I also have no evidence for. I will also book a flight to a heavy gravity planet at the first opportunity as it seems a logical progression. I really think progressive overload is key, and this sort of thing should begin with a minimum dose, just like with drugs, so the body can adapt. It takes longer but it is worth it.

Dr. Doug, a couple people in the comments mentioned the VT007 vibration plate by VT Vibration Therapeutic. It does have the up-and-down movement rather than see-saw, it can be set for 30-35 hz, and it is a lot cheaper than the Marodyne or PowerPlate. BUT..."Vibration amplitude: Low (0.7 - 1.2mm) or High (1.5 - 3.0mm)." So regardless of the amplitude setting you choose, it will be variable throughout the session. Can you comment on whether you think this would affect the safety or effectiveness of the device? Is the highest amplitude of 3mm too high?

Basically my family doctor and nurse practitioner will recommend that I take pharma meds and that will solve your problems for the most part.

Thank you Dr. Lucas for this honest detailed review. The 2016 study you highlight that showed a 1% increase after, I think 6 months of WBV only, while even resistance training lost 1/2%, seems to validate the efficacy? If no one gets hurt and no one gets worse and even improves, albeit modestly, by using just the WBV machine, which was the group that improved I believe, then other than the cost being prohibitive for a lot of people, I'm missing why you wouldn't want to add it in? Regarding using commercial standards for home devices, that old saying the dose makes the poison comes to mind. What is safe for 10 minutes could be very deleterious for 8 hours. About your advice about asking your doctor, hmmm, I know you have to say that for legal and ethical reasons, but in reality, as mentioned before in a different Q&A, my doctors want clinical trials showing reduced fracture/fall risk, if they have even heard of the therapy, my doc did not. And as you have stated before those studies are too long and expensive to do for a non pharma modality.

I'v e been using a Lifepro Rumblex - the top of the line plate from Lifepro- for a couple of years, 10 minutes per day. 2 months ago I awoke to extreme symptoms of vertigo. While the severity has fluctuated since then, it never goes away entirely. I assumed the problem was attributable to neck position/neck muscle tension. But testing showed damage to my left vestibular system. I didn't think of it until later, but now I'm wondering if the vibration plate might have contributed in a major way to the problem. I've not had any virus that could have set off an immune attack, and nothing else comes to mind. My use of the machine is still ongoing, albeit at low intensity. I'm told that there is no cure for the condition. I'm not seeing much evidence in the form of complaints from others who experienced similar symptoms, but there are casual mentions of it in passing. We need more studies with concise parameters. I may be an anomoly, but if these plates touting balance improvement can cause such paradoxical results even if rare- a warning to that effect is needed.

I've looked at this device too. But... "Vibration amplitude: Low (0.7 - 1.2mm) or High (1.5 - 3.0mm)". So, the amplitude is variable throughout the session as you are using it, regardless of whether you choose the low or the high amplitude. Not sure if that is a good thing, a bad thing, or it doesn't matter. Both the Marodyne and the PowerPlate use one steady amplitude during any given session.

As a PT and knowing contraindications for use of ultrasound and e-stim in the presence of cancer, I was concerned about the use of vibration plates by patents that have or have had cancer. Since the vibration plate stimulates cells, what is the safety of this device in that patient population? I contacted Marodyne regarding this question as was told that there are no contraindications of any kind, including for cancer patients, with their device. What are your thoughts? I know many patients developed osteoporosis due to chemotherapy and other drugs used to treat cancer.

I was interested in the results achieved by your second guest with his use of powerplate and exercise and he seems to apply the use of vibration in specific ways with a lot of good results. One of the problems regarding safety, and correct me if I am wrong here, is that the vibration machines are not regulated and if they are to be used as therapeutic devices, I would have expected them to be so. A bit like vitamins and supplements! Anyway, thank you again. More to think about.

Some, yes, some no. same frequency and displacement.

Goodness! If they only included ONE study with a Marodyne (like) device--my gosh, in my mind that can't even qualify as a meta-analysis!! Where's the meta? One study is one study. That's crazy. I actually agree with only including high-quality studies. I'm wondering why there's only one high-quality study on the Marodyne. It seems Dr. Rubin has conducted a lot of research and yet I guess the authors of the meta-analysis concluded that they were not of high quality. And apparently, no one else has reproduced Dr. Rubin's results with a good-quality study either. Not a good sign. I got confused though by what you were saying (at approximately the 12-minute mark) that quantity should be looked at too and that there are lots of studies showing benefit in areas we are interested in, namely the hip. To me, that makes it sound like you mean that we should look also at the quantity of studies showing significant benefit from the Marodyne-like devices (since it was those devices for which they only looked at one study) but I don't think that's what you meant??? since you didn't mention the Marodyne-like device having a high quantity of studies showing good benefit in summarizing/concluding remarks and didn't seem to give weight towards these but rather more emphasized lots of studies showing Power Plates to have a good effect. Anyway, bottom line: one high-quality study by the author of Marodyne that hasn't been reproduced by independent researchers is not persuasive. And further, I don't see that these authors can call this a meta-analysis if they only looked at one study for one category. THANK YOU for doing the deep dive and reading the fine print. Also, thank you for making the excellent, elucidating point that looking at adverse effects from using 2G machinery in the work force does not really make for a fair comparison to using WBVs with that G force. And even more importantly that no actual injuries were reported in the studies on the Power Plate. This has been an EXCELLENT review!

I appreciate your interpretation of so many studies, including your explanation about how lower priced plates function. I have a lifepro 4D machine and their literature is limited with regard to which settings offer optimal Hz, amplitude and G force so I had a a mathematician help me figure out which settings would get me close to the 2G measurement. I’m assuming these other products haven’t conducted any studies or you would report on them. It is frustrating that all the studies are conducted on such expensive devices. It doesn’t help mainstream users who don’t want to spend thousands, especially when the results seem to be controversial. I’m hoping my LifePro machine is going to be beneficial and would love to get some kind of info on their efficacy in reversing osteoporosis.

The measurement of G on a plate does not have to be exactly the same that is applied to the feet and further bones. Maybe we should do 2 tests. One phone held firmy against the plate and the other lower parts of legs. I presume measurement on the leg could be slightly lower compared to the bone but still would be nice to see those measurements. As for mathematical computation we would need to assume how the movement is made. So maybe simpler to measure with the phone. Also very disapointing we do not have studies on a device more similar to walking acceleration like 1.2G

@gLucasI have just finished listening to all 3 episodes, and I read a couple of studies on WBV and BMD. It seems like the studies involve having participants standing on a vibration plate continuously for 10 minutes without or without exercising on the plate. In episode 1, Dr Rubin suggested 10 minutes of continuous use followed by a break of a few hours followed optimally by another "5 to 10 minutes" on the vibration plate. He states that benefits are dose dependent, and that 1 or 2 minutes on the plate is not going to stimulate bone growth. In episode 2, Dr Conviser who uses Power Plate in his practice repeatedly referred to the library of workouts on the PP website which all involve 10 to 20 to 30 minutes of continuous use. Then is this episode 3, you state that most or many of the people "in this space" use the plate in intervals of 1 minute on the plate 1 minute off the plate to give themselves a break. This makes it sound more like a preference than anything evidence based. Is that accurate? Am I correct in my understanding that the studies (and other experts) indicate the benefit of at least 10 minutes daily of continuous plate use to support the improvement of bone density? Sorry for such a long post, but I found the interjection of the 1 minute intervals of training and rest to be confusing and contradictory and I would greatly appreciate some clarification.

There are local area vibration products for horses as well, pads that can be placed on their backs or hindquarters.

So disappointed that you don't seriously discuss any brands other than Power Plate ($1500) and Marodyne ($3,000). If the lower priced models like Life Pro Rumblex really are inferior or not beneficial, why not just say so? Many people cannot afford $1500-$3,000 and an honest evaluation of the other alternatives would be so useful. I wonder if the reason all the professional types are recommending the higher priced models is because they are experienced in using them in clinical settings where the device will be much more heavily used and used by a people with a wide range of abilities and medical conditions and so must be more "heavy duty" and have more bells and whistles. But for a single home user, it would be useful to know if the less expensive models would be as beneficial.

We're told "ask your doctor", and you also refer to "future studies". It's hard to purchase a device today based on tomorrow's studies. You quoted the studies accurately, except for 1 detail in PMID 36282343. You refer to 30 hZ, but the study had a maximum of 20 hZ in both groups. Is it a coincidence that the device you're trying to promote (Marodyne) also has a 30 hZ frequency? I don't know whether 30 hZ vs 20 hZ would make a big difference, but why would you change this detail?

You could say that the initial sales pitch for Marodyne (as promoted by Dr. Rubin) has been toned down quite a lot because there is indeed very little scientific basis, and now it's just a sales pitch for Dr. Doug's private clinic. What all of us were promised, and didn't get, is an overview of devices that improve bone density without causing damage elsewhere in the body. Dr. Doug made a promise, and it seems we're still stuck in that phase. The fact that low intensity vibration for 10 minutes per day (and supposing you bend your knees under the right angle) is probably safe, but may not produce any result either, does not encourage me to give it a try. You need to bend your knees to prevent the oscillation from terminating inside your skull, but by doing so you also ruin your knees and prevent the oscillation from reaching your spine. My own conclusion is that a low intensity device may be suitable for people with osteoporosis of the hip bone, provided that they adopt the right posture and don't stand on the device for longer than 10 minutes per day, and only as an addition to real, weight bearing exercise, walking etc.
