Summary

This trial studies if whole body vibration can help cancer survivors who have nerve damage from chemotherapy. The treatment involves standing on a vibrating machine to improve movement and reduce pain. The goal is to see if this method is safe and effective for these patients.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Whole body vibration (WBV)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants assigned to the WBV group will participate in twice daily 10-minute WBV training sessions, 7 days a week. Each WBV session will consist of a series of timed stands on the vibration platform (Marodyne LiV). During a timed stand, participants will perform slow controlled weight shifting exercises and gentle squats. The vibration frequency will be set at 30Hz and the amplitude set at 50-200 microns, for a total body acceleration of 0.4g+/-20%.

Group II: Usual Care (UC)Active Control1 Intervention

Participants randomly assigned to the UC group will serve as controls and will be tested at the same time points as the WBV group. The UC group will be asked not to change their physical activity or dietary habits across the intervention period and we will track any changes using a questionnaire.
