Abstract
The excitability of α-motoneurons was studied in healthy subjects during voluntary and passive air-stepping with imitation of foot loading. The foot loading induced reduction of the H-reflex during both immobility and stepping. Thus, sensory inputs from load receptors play an important role in phase-dependent modulation of the H-reflex, and excitability of α-motoneurons is considerably dependent on the foot afferent input.
