(A) Experimental set-up and (B) schematic of the measurement timing. Subjects were asked to maintain a quiet stance over 20 minutes (control task) and until the disappearance of the H-reflex (experimental task). All data were recorded in the first period for 60 seconds (initial period) and in the following periods for the same duration every 3 minutes. The final period of quiet stance for 60 seconds in the experimental task was performed after the loss of the H-reflex, and the period corresponding to the same time in the control task was analyzed.

3. Fig 2
Raw data on COP in the AP and ML directions and full-wave rectified electromyograms during the last 10 minutes of quiet standing of the initial, 7 to 8 minutes, and final periods in 1 subject. Electromyographic (EMG) activity was recorded for the following muscles: gluteus medius (GM), vastus medialis (VM), tibialis anterior (TA), and soleus (Sol). (A) Control task, (B) Experiment task.

4. Fig 3
The center-of-body sway positions under both feet (A) in the AP direction and (B) in the ML direction (N=9). The average COP positions were calculated as a percentage of the distance from the heel to the foot length in the AP direction and from the medial foot border to the foot width in the ML direction (see upper illustrations). NOTE. Mean and standard deviation (SD) bars are shown. Note also that the coordinate axes for the AP and ML data are opposite. *Difference between the control and experimental tasks (P<.05); †significant difference in the time-related changes (P<.01).
