Introduction
Wearing compression stockings (CS) may improve postural stability through additional cutaneous feedback. The aim of this study was to further determine how wearing CS could influence spinal excitability by investigating ankle muscle H‐reflexes.
Methods
Fifteen subjects were asked to stand barefoot on a rigid floor with their eyes open. H‐reflex amplitude was measured in the soleus...
External ankle supports, such as ankle braces, may improve postural stability by stimulating cutaneous receptors. It remains unknown whether these supports have an effect on the posture central regulation. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of wearing a soft ankle brace on soleus H-reflex amplitude and presynaptic inhibition during standing. Sixteen subjects stood on a rigid floor with...
