U.S., Feb. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07439705) titled 'The Effect of Heel Skin Mechanoreceptors on Plantar Flexor Contraction Force' on Feb. 23.
Brief Summary: Previous studies have shown that stimulation of heel skin mechanoreceptors facilitates the soleus H-reflex, whereas stimulation of metatarsal region mechanoreceptors inhibits the soleus H-reflex. From this perspective, plantar cutaneous receptors may play an important role in the regulation of activities such as walking and running, as well as in the control of spasticity in patients with upper motor neuron lesions. Investigating the effect of heel skin mechanoreceptors on plantar flexor muscle contraction force may provide valua...
