The human body is exposed to vibrations at varying frequencies in different environments. As each organ, tissue and bone of the human body has its own resonant frequency, the effects of these mechanical vibrations on the human body can be pleasant, unpleasant or harmful. The unpleasant and harmful effects of mechanical vibrations and the ways of preventing them are widely studied. However scientific based studies on pleasant effects of mechanical vibrations and their applications to real-life are fewer while it’s known that the mechanical stimulations in form of vibrations can improve muscle strength and prevent bone loss.

In our analyses we focus on these pleasant effects of mechanical vibrations on human body with realistic models-simulations, real-life experiments and we are working for developing vibration-based therapeutic devices for several applications.
