Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied how different areas of the foot sole affect muscle reflexes in the tibialis anterior (TA) during walking, finding that the reflexes change from facilitation to suppression throughout the walking phase.
- The study revealed that stimulation of the medial and lateral parts of the forefoot enhances reflexes during specific walking phases, but stimulation at the heel leads to suppression as the foot prepares to strike the ground.
- Overall, the findings indicate that the reflex reversals in the TA muscle during walking depend on specific pathways triggered by different areas of the foot sole's nerve endings.
