The human body is composed of complex systems that control, measure, act, inhibit, and regulate its functions. The nervous system, combined with the musculoskeletal system, forms the foundation of neuromuscular interactions seen in movement, body stabilization, and proprioception.
Similar to a car embarking on a journey—where normal wear occurs—when a person engages in physical activity, energy is consumed, and parts of the body’s tissues experience wear.
Regeneration and recovery are therefore essential goals in any sports treatment. These processes affect not only the health of the tissues but also the nervous system’s ability to repeat the effort.
Returning to the car analogy, when a vehicle is unused for an extended period or undergoes mechanical part replacement, it’s wise to test it before regular use. A dead battery, a misaligned gear, or an improperly calibrated control unit could lead to more serious problems.
The human body operates in the same way: after periods of inactivity or following surgery that immobilizes a specific body part, biomechanical conditions can develop that make movement more difficult, less efficient, or even risky. Rehabilitation—a cornerstone term in physical therapy and orthopedics—is often closely linked to the central nervous system’s ability to control movement.
Having a healthy “engine” is just as important as having a well-functioning “control unit” to manage its power. Specialists seeking to provide comprehensive therapeutic solutions for their patients must engage with the neuromuscular system and equip themselves with tools to stimulate this system effectively and accelerate recovery times.
The mechanism of action of V~PLUS: how focal vibration works on the human body.
V~PLUS is a medical device that uses focal vibration to precisely stimulate peripheral mechanoreceptors, triggering a cascade of neurophysiological responses that enhance strength, coordination, reactivity, and muscle explosiveness. Its action directly interacts with the nervous system, optimizing neuromuscular adaptation processes.
Stimulation of peripheral receptors
Mechanoreceptors in the body, such as Pacinian corpuscles and Golgi receptors, are highly sensitive to focal vibratory stimuli. These receptors play a critical role in detecting exteroceptive and proprioceptive signals related to vibration. V~PLUS’s advanced technology delivers high-frequency vibrations (up to 300 Hz), precisely targeting peripheral receptors involved in motor control and sensory perception.
The neurophysiological circuit: from afferent to efferent signals
The vibration generated by V~PLUS initiates an afferent signal that travels from peripheral receptors through the peripheral nervous system to the sensory-motor cortex in the central nervous system. The signal is processed there, producing an efferent impulse sent back to the muscles involved. This afferent-efferent cycle induces immediate responses in peripheral tissues, improving neuromuscular control and enabling rapid adaptation to stimuli.
Effects on motor units and stimulus adaptation
Focal vibratory stimulation selectively activates dormant or underused motor units, enhancing muscle recruitment. This leads to improved voluntary muscle control and better synchronization of active motor units. Over time, muscles adapt to the stimulus, increasing strength, reactivity, and the ability to perform complex motor patterns.
Tangible physiological outcomes
The neurophysiological effects of V~PLUS provide measurable and concrete benefits:
An ideal partner for rehabilitation and performance
V~PLUS goes beyond improving muscle condition. Its integrated approach to the neuromuscular system makes it an essential tool for post-traumatic recovery, fall prevention in seniors, enhanced athletic performance, and managing chronic conditions.
V~PLUS bridges the gap between technology and physiology, turning vibratory stimulation into measurable clinical results.
MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
NON-MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
A quick search on PubMed reveals that focal vibration is becoming a crucial therapeutic stimulus for the neuromuscular system. Since 2000, over 50 articles by international authors have addressed its impact on motor control, strength, pain, performance, osteoporosis, endocrine effects, and central nervous system plasticity.
Based on this foundation—and after thorough analysis of scientific literature and extensive technological testing—WINTECARE developed V~PLUS: the ultimate solution for professionals aiming to advance their work in rehabilitation and performance through a device capable of delivering significant neuromuscular effects.
Weighing under 4 kg, featuring six silenced independent transducers with a modifiable frequency range of 30–300 Hz, 50% more force than comparable devices, and an amplitude capable of stimulating all key mechanoreceptors in the body, V~PLUS sets the standard for focal vibration. It perfectly aligns with application protocols documented in scientific literature across all its use cases.
Its applications range from pain management to sports performance support and post-stroke or trauma rehabilitation. V~PLUS’s ability to deliver effective stimuli to the central nervous system makes it a perfect ally for both stand-alone therapies and combined use with complementary tools like energy transfer systems.
To enable simultaneous use of all available actuators, WINTECARE pairs V~PLUS with specially designed straps that allow actuators to be securely, quickly, and efficiently attached to the body.
The combination of elastic materials with hook-and-loop fastenings ensures the straps adapt to any body type, staying firmly in place. The rotation-based locking mechanism on the rigid parts of the straps simplifies actuator placement, ensuring a snug fit even during exercises performed away from the treatment table.
The differential adjustment system also allows for precise length modifications, ensuring each actuator is perfectly adapted to the specific body part or patient being treated.
