Risk of bias was assessed via the PEDro scale, and certainty of evidence using GRADE. Meta\u2010analyses were performed using the standardized mean difference (SMD) under random\u2010 or fixed\u2010effects models according to heterogeneity levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirty\u2010four studies (1272 participants) were included (32.4% had a high risk of bias). Compared with controls, acute WBV showed no significant effect on handgrip strength, with moderate\u2010certainty evidence (SMD\u00a0=\u00a00.09,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.34). Chronic WBV produced a significant but small effect, supported by very low\u2010certainty evidence (SMD\u00a0=\u00a00.33,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.01). Sensitivity analysis excluding high\u2010risk\u2010of\u2010bias studies rendered the chronic effect non\u2010significant (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.07). Exploratory subgroup analyses of chronic interventions showed a significant interaction for body positioning (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.02), with significant effects for direct hand contact (SMD\u00a0=\u00a00.76,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.03) and static standing (SMD\u00a0=\u00a00.52,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.03).
