NCT02468011

Brief Summary

Previous studies reported that myoelectrical activity increased during whole body vibration (WBV). The investigators hypothesized that the change in soleus muscle length does not affect the whole body vibration induced soleus reflex muscle activity but the change in ankle angle affects the whole body induced soleus reflex muscle activity. The purpose of this study is to test this hypothesis.
