  • Title: Effect of mechanical stimulation of the support zones of soles on the muscle stiffness in 7-day dry immersion.
    Author: Miller TF, Saenko IV, Popov DV, Vinogradova OL, Kozlovskaya IB.
    Journal: J Gravit Physiol; 2004 Jul; 11(2):P135-6. PubMed ID: 16237815.
    Abstract:
    Stiffness of m. soleus (Sol.) and m. tibialis anterior (TA) was evaluated in 16 volunteers during exposure to 7-days dry immersion alone and to the combination of immersion and mechanic stimulation of foot support zones. It was shown that Sol. stiffness decreased progressively starting from day-1 of immersion, whereas TA stiffness, on the contrary, made a sharp rise. Mechanic stimulation of foot support zones slowed down the rate and extent of changes in both muscles.
