Abstract

The present study was conducted to determine the strength of somatosensory stimuli applied to the human body as a method for recovery of musculoskeletal function deterioration vibration, to perform a mutual comparison of the threshold-measuring methods which allow physical quantification of the vibration sense, and to verify the accuracy and reliability of the measured threshold through the activity of the muscles. According to the results of experiments conducted on men, the threshold intensity obtained via the ascent and descent methods showed a 1.09-fold difference in size and a 0.43-fold deviation. In addition, the difference in muscular activity found through the comparison of EMG and ultrasound imaging, a 1.43-fold activity difference was observed. The results of the present study can be utilized for the threshold intensity setting of the sensory stimulation vibration and can be used as the basis for the integration of various thresholds measurements.
