Abstract

The balance reaction was quantitatively evaluated using balance measurement apparatus to study the effects of foot bottom sense and a leg joint receptor on dynamic balance. The following two results were obtained. One result : A significant difference was observed between the equilibrium scores before and after cooling in Test 1, 2, 4, and 6 in the sensory organization test. Although a significant difference between the scores before and after cooling was not observed in Test 3, the latency decreased after cooling. Also for strategy, the same results as for equilibrium score was obtained. The other result ; a significant difference was observed in the latency period of the motor control test between the scores before and after refrigiration during a forward movement of a foot board. Latency was delayed during a backward movement of the board after cooling. As for amplitude strength, it decreased significantly after cooling in all test items. While a peripheral receptor mutually cooperates with a vision system input, it is suggested that it is also associated with the latency of a posture regulation initiation and an activity of a movement machine system.
