Introduction: To review studies that analyzed the effects of the vibrating platform on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. Methods: Systematic review, PROSPERO (CRD42020173020), of articles published in the Pubmed, PEDro and Portal da VHL databases. Descriptors: “Vibration”, “Bone Density”, “Women”, “Osteoporosis”, “Postmenopausal” and “Clinical Trial”. Included: 1) Randomized clinical trials; 2) who analyzed the effects of the vibrating platform on bone mineral density; 3) in postmenopausal women. 4) Available in full. Excluded: 1) Absence of frequency, exposure time and body position parameters, and 2) Master's/doctoral theses and dissertations. Methodological quality (risk of bias) was assessed with the Cochrane PEDro scale and risk of bias tool. Results: The searches identified 1,108 studies, however, 7 were included. They were randomized clinical trials, published between 2006 and 2020. The sample totaled 509 postmenopausal women. Of these, 292 used the vibrating platform, and 217 in the control group and/or other interventions. The time since menopause ranged between 1 and 12 years. The intervention protocol ranged between 12.5 and 90 Hz, with exposure time between 5 and 60 minutes, lasting from 4 to 12 months. The results suggest that the vibrating platform promoted improvements and/or maintenance in bone mineral density of the femur, lumbar spine and cervical in postmenopausal women. In the methodological analysis, most studies have a moderate risk of bias. Conclusion: The vibrating platform promotes an increase/maintenance in bone mineral density in postmenopausal women, which can lead to a reduction in falls and a reduction in the risk of hospitalization.
