INTRODUCTION: A short period of hospitalization, if accompanied by immobility, may be able to promote a decline in musculoskeletal functions, generating a negative impact on functionality and quality of life. As a result, the adoption of therapeutic strategies such as the use of the vibrating platform (PV) has become increasingly common. OBJECTIVE: To systematize evidence on the functionality and safety of the application of PV in hospitalized adult patients. METHODS: Systematic review, registered at PROSPERO with code CRD42019119672. Developed in the bases: LILACS, SciELO, MedLine / PubMed, EBSCOhost and PEDro. Keywords and keywords: “Whole body vibration”, “Intensive Care Units”, “hospitalization”, “muscle strength”, and “functional capacity”. Included studies that analyzed the effects and safety of the application of PV in hospitalized adult patients. Methodological quality was assessed using the Downs and Black scale. RESULTS: Included 2 studies, a randomized clinical trial and another controlled intervention study. The sample varied between 24 and 40 subjects, of both sexes, mean age 52 ± 4 years, with a diagnosis of COPD and varied conditions. There was an improvement in the distance covered in the six-minute walk test and a decrease in the time of the sit and stand test, an increase in irisin levels and an improvement in quality of life, in relation to the vital signs parameters, there was no significant change. The methodological score was on average 16. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that PV seems to be viable and safe, and may have favorable effects on functionality for treatment in hospitalized adult patients, being an alternative for early rehabilitation.Downloads
