    Abstract

    This paper aims to study the effect of vibration stimulation of the sub-perception threshold on the tibialis anterior muscle and triceps surae muscle based on the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs). EEG is measured by applying the vibration stimulation to tibialis anterior tendon and Achilles tendon, and the sub-perception threshold intensity is selected through SEPs analysis. For this purpose, EEC collection and analysis system was used. In addition, analyzing changes in muscle strength and muscle reaction time by applying the selected sub-perception threshold intensity to tibialis anterior tendon and Achilles tendon. For this, maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), and muscle reaction time (MRT) are analyzed by using the EMG collection and analysis system. Vibration stimulation of the sub-perception threshold intensity analysis results, muscle strength is increased, muscle reaction time decreased.
