Vibration of calf muscles has reverse effects on right and left ankle proprioception in high and low proprioceptive performer groups

Purpose Previous research has found hemispheric asymmetries in the utilization of proprioceptive information. It is undetermined, however, if there is any change in asymmetry in proprioceptive function when external stimulation, such as vibration, is presented. The present study was to investigate the immediate effects of vibration stimulation (VS) on bilateral ankle proprioception. Materials and methods Forty-six recreational male basketball players were included. Proprioception was assessed by using the active movement extent discrimination apparatus (AMEDA) in standing, and vibration was provided by using a vibrating form roller on the peroneal or gastrocnemius muscles. Results When participants were divided into high score and low score groups, according to the median of the baseline proprioceptive performance, VS (irrespective of whether vibrating the peroneal or gastrocnemius muscles) significantly improved left non-dominant ankle proprioception in the low proprioceptive performer group (p = 0.019), while significantly deteriorated right dominant ankle proprioception in the high proprioceptive performer group (p = 0.011). Conclusions The results found that external stimuli reversely affect proprioception in better and worse performing groups. This suggests that there are differences in the processing of external stimulus signals on different bilateral hemispheres and in different groups (high score vs low score groups), which may be related to hemispheric asymmetry and stochastic resonance. Therefore, it is necessary to explore more specific interventions in the future.

Effect of Vibration Stimulation to Neck Extensor Muscles on Reaction Time in Various Saccadic Eye Movements

We investigated the effect of vibration stimulation to the neck extensors on reaction time in various saccades that are controlled by different higher neural system. Visually guided, memory-guided and anti saccades were performed under no-vibration and vibration (frequency, 100 Hz; amplitude, 0.5 mm) applied to the trapezius muscles. For memory-guided and anti saccades, the reaction time under the vibration was significantly shorter than that under no-vibration. A significant correlation was found between the shortening of reaction time for memory-guided saccade and that for visually guided saccade (r = 0.726, p <.01), but no significant correlation was found between anti-saccade and other saccades. These findings suggested that the higher saccadic neural pathway was strongly activated during the vibration stimulation to the neck extensors, and furthermore the effect of activation on facilitatory and inhibitory functions differed among the three types of saccades.
