Effect of Subliminal Vibration Stimulus to Standing Balance

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The fall accident of the elderly person gives serious results. One of the fall prevention methods is the improvement of the standing balance ability. We have already reported that the standing balance ability is improved by the subliminal vibration stimulus to planta pedis. The stimulus to planta pedis has the problems including the possibility of the damage of the stimulator. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of the subliminal vibration stimulus to the bone prominence of lower leg to the standing balance ability. The stimulus points are head of fibula, lateral malleolus, malleolus medialis, tuberosity of navicular bone and 5th metatarsal bone tuberosity. The experiments are conducted under six kinds of conditions, that is, the stimulation at five places separately and no stimulus vibration. The experiment repeats five times for each condition. The stimulation intensity is 90% of the intensity to feel vibration. Therefore, a subject does not feel the vibration even if a vibration stimulus is applied during the measurement. The subjects are five healthy males. A subject stands on one leg with closed eyes. We measured the center-of-foot-pressure (CFP) sway for 10 seconds. The standing balance was evaluated by the locus area and length of CFP sway. The stimulus to malleolus medialis or tuberosity of navicular bone or 5th metatarsal bone tuberosity significantly improved standing position balance. It became clear that the stimulation to the ankle could improve standing posture balance.
