| Popis: | Reduced support-surface stability has been shown to attenuate the effect of Achilles tendon vibration on backward body displacement. In the present study, 20 participants performed a quiet, upright standing task on a stable and sway-referenced support, with and without vibration. The authors calculated equilibrium scores (ES), approximate entropy (ApEn), and mean and peak power spectral density frequencies of center-of-pressure variations. It was found that ES values decreased with the addition of vibration and in the sway-referenced support condition. ApEn values decreased with the addition of vibration but only with a stable support. Conversely, mean and peak frequencies increased with the addition of vibration, independent of support stability. These results suggest that the role of ankle proprioceptive input changes depending on support-surface characteristics and demonstrate the value of using both linear and nonlinear measures of postural sway. |
