Balance disorders have been reported as a cause of falls in elderly people. It has been reported that plantar sensation decreases with age, and it has been shown that elderly people with decreased plantar sensation are prone to falls, so the development of an approach focusing on plantar sensation may be important in rehabilitation.
Recently, repetitive electrical stimulation has been reported as a stimulation method to improve sensory function. It has been shown that applying it to the fingers improves sensory and motor function. We hypothesized that applying it to the soles of the feet would change plantar sensation and improve balance function, and examined the effect on static balance function. As a result, it was found that balance function during one-legged standing, which is one of the indicators that can evaluate static balance function, improved. However, the effect on dynamic balance function is unknown. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of repetitive electrical stimulation of the soles of the feet on dynamic balance function in young healthy individuals.
