Primary Investigator

Overview

A type of breast cancer medicine called aromatase inhibitors (AI) causes muscle weakness and bone loss in patients. This research is being done to test whether low intensity vibration (LIV) can prevent the loss of muscle and bone strength in patients receiving AIs.

Description

The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of LIV delivered for 10 minutes twice daily for 12 months on skeletal muscle function, in terms of energetic capacity measured by power generation on a stationary bicycle, among patients with early stage breast cancer planned to initiate aromatase inhibitor therapy who do not currently participate in regular exercise, compared to a wait- listed control.
