Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the effects of unilateral vibratory stimulation on contralateral homonymous muscle. [Participants and Methods] The study included 14 participants without a history of any disease. Participants were tested under three separate conditions: vibratory stimulation, pressure stimulation, and rest. F-waves were measured at two time points for 15 seconds in the rest position under each of the testing conditions. [Results] The F/M amplitude ratio analysis showed interactions between the vibratory stimulation‒pressure stimulation and vibratory stimulation‒rest conditions. The F-wave persistence analysis demonstrated interactions between the vibratory and pressure stimulation conditions. Vibratory stimulation significantly decreased the F/M amplitude ratio and F-wave persistence at two time points, before and during the stimulation. [Conclusion] The vibratory stimulation used in this study could suppress the contralateral homonymous muscle tone.
