Estimates of tibialis anterior persistent inward current are reduced by heel pressure in a supine position

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Our study demonstrates that estimates of PIC are modulated by plantar cutaneous input via mechanical pressure, but not via electrical stimulation, and that this cutaneous sensory modulation is posture-dependent.
