Summary
This study looked at how feeling on the heel skin affects the strength of the calf muscles that point the foot down. Researchers tested 29 healthy adults to measure muscle force when the heel was stimulated. The goal was to better understand how skin sensations help control walking and muscle tone, which could guide future research on movement and spasticity.
