Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial is to determine whether a vibration platform exercise program will be more effective than a standard platform exercise program in improving quadriceps strength in women age 45-60 who have risk factors for knee osteoarthritis. Each platform exercise program will be conducted 2 times a week for 12 weeks. The sessions will consist of a series of exercises on a Wave Pro-elite vibration platform (with 1-3 minute rests between sets) and stretches with the platform vibration either turned on (intervention group) or off (control group.) Quadriceps strength (primary outcome), leg press power, and vibration sense will be assessed at baseline and 12 weeks, and changed scores will be compared between groups.
