The posture is controlled by the processing and integration of equilibrium information from visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory inputs, which are coordinated by the brainstem, cerebellum, and basal ganglia.However, when the intrinsic sensory function is impaired, the coordination between the nerves and motor units is disrupted, and the mechanisms involved in maintaining standing posture are greatly affected.Therefore, the importance of the influence of many joints involved in the standing posture has been studied.In dynamic standing posture control, afferent signals from plantar sensation and muscle spindles of the lower leg muscles play an important role in postural control.Some previous studies have suggested that local vibration stimulation of the lower leg muscles in the standing posture may induce firing activity of muscle spindles, leading to improvement of proprioception through activation of the cerebral cortex.Previous studies have shown that stroke patients are compensated for postural control by vision due to disruption of equilibrium sensory information caused by motor paralysis and eigensensensory dysfunction.In clinical practice, we aim to improve the balance ability of patients who have broken free from this excessive visual compensation, to improve their eigensensensory impairment, and to re-establish postural control.Many previous studies on the effects of vibration stimulation have reported that vibration stimulation activates Ia afferent fibers, which are eigensensensory receptors.The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of local vibration stimulation on the gastrocnemius muscle during a postural control task in healthy subjects by comparing the performance ratio of the postural control task, observing muscle activity and center of gravity sway during postural control, and examining the effectiveness of changes in intrinsic sensory information during balance training.

Tracking task: A red point moving in a straight line and the subject's center of gravity are projected on a monitor in front of the subject. 10 seconds after the red point moves back and forth, the subject performs a center-of-gravity manipulation task with his/her foot so that his/her center of gravity is superimposed on the red point.Measurement limb position: The lower limb not to be measured is placed on a 20 cm platform, and the lower limb to be measured is placed at the center of the sokinetic scale.The patient is placed in a pseudo-one-leg standing position.Vibration stimulation: A small vibration testing device (Wave Maker01: Asahi Mfg. Co., Ltd.) is used, with a frequency of 100 Hz and an amplitude range of 1.2 mmp-p applied to the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle.The pressure applied to the contact surface is constantly monitored by using a pressure sensor to indicate on a monitor that the contact pressure to the skin surface is constant.During the experiment, the subject is secured with a belt so that the point of vibration does not change.To eliminate as much as possible any learning effect on the task, the participants practiced the tracking task 40 times prior to the start of the experiment.Measurements were taken in 10 sets of 10 seconds without the vibration stimulus, 10 sets of 10 seconds with the vibration stimulus as the intervention condition, and 10 sets of 10 seconds without the vibration stimulus.

The participant must be able to understand the instructions for the precise center-of-gravity manipulation task experiment and give his/her consent to participate in the experiment.
The participant must be unable to perform the posture control tasks in the experiment due to injury or other reasons.In case of injury, the participant may participate in the experiment after healing.
