AB  - OBJECTIVE: After a stroke, patients usually suffer from dysfunction, such as 
      decreased balance ability, and abnormal walking function. Whole-body vibration 
      training can promote muscle contraction, stimulate the proprioceptive system, 
      enhance the muscle strength of low limbs and improve motor control ability. The 
      study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of whole-body vibration training on the 
      balance and walking function of patients with stroke. METHODS: PubMed, CNKI, VIP, 
      CBM, EBSCO, Embase and Web of Science were searched. According to the inclusion 
      and exclusion criteria, randomized controlled trials on the effectiveness of 
      whole-body vibration training on the balance and walking function of patients 
      with stroke were collected. The search time ranged from the date of database 
      construction to November 2022. The included trials were evaluated by the Cochrane 
      risk-of-bias tool. The meta-analysis was performed using two software packages, 
      consisting of RevMan 5.4 and Stata 12.2. If the results included in the 
      literature were continuous variables, use the mean difference (MD) and 95% 
      confidence interval (CI) for statistics. RESULTS: (1) A total of 22 randomized 
      controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 1089 patients were included. (2) The 
      results of meta-analysis showed that: compared with the controls, step length (MD 
      = 6.12, 95%CI [5.63, 6.62], p < 0.001), step speed (MD = 0.14, 95%CI [0.09, 
      0.20], p < 0.001), cadence (MD = 9.03, 95%CI [2.23, 15.83], p = 0.009), stride 
      length (MD = 6.74, 95%CI [-3.47, 10.01], p < 0.001), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (MD 
      = 4.08, 95%CI [2.39, 5.76], p < 0.001), Timed Up-and-Go test (TUGT) (MD = -2.88, 
      95%CI [-4.94, 0.81], p = 0.006), 10-meter Walk Test (10MWT) (MD = -2.69, 95%CI 
      [-3.35, -2.03], p < 0.001), functional ambulation category scale (FAC) (MD = 
      0.78, 95%CI [0.65, 0.91], p < 0.001), Fugl-Meyer motor assessment of lower 
      extremity (FMA-LE) (MD = 4.10, 95%CI [2.01, 6.20], p = 0.0001). (3) The results 
      of subgroup analysis showed that, compared with other vibration frequencies, at 
      20-30 Hz frequency, WBV training had an obvious improvement effect only in TUGT. 
      (4) The safety analysis showed that WBV training may be safe. CONCLUSION: 
      Whole-body vibration training has a positive effect on the balance and walking 
      function of patients with stroke. Thus, whole-body vibration training is a safe 
      treatment method to improve the motor dysfunction of patients with stroke.
