Experimental setup
<p>(<b>A</b>). Illustration for the setup that allow the balance assessment during normal standing by using the Biodex Balance System SD. (<b>B</b>). Illustration for the assessment during the standing with toe-extension condition.</p
Descriptive and demographic characteristic for all participants.
a<p>Significantly different between gender (<i>p</i><0.05).</p
Mean values of patellar tendon reflex amplitudes according to tapping angle (± standard error).
<p>The reflex amplitude increased gradually with the increment of tapping angle. <sup>*</sup> denotes statistical significance difference compared to tapping angle of 15°. <sup>#</sup> denotes statistical significance difference compared to tapping angle of 30°. <sup>$</sup> denotes statistical significance difference compared to tapping angle of 45°. <sup>¤</sup> denotes statistical significance difference compared to tapping angle of 60°. <sup>¢</sup> denotes statistical significance difference compared to tapping angle of 75°. <sup>¥</sup> denotes statistical significance difference compared to tapping angle of 90°. Symbols (<sup>¤</sup>, <sup>¥</sup>) in bold indicates statistical significance difference at <i>P</i><0.01, symbols not in bold indicates statistical significance difference at <i>P</i><0.001.</p
Representative relationship between the tapping angle and the experimental maximum tapping velocity.
<p>Representative relationship between the tapping angle and the experimental maximum tapping velocity.</p
Representative knee angle of a patellar tendon reflex test.
<p>Time 0 is the time the reflex hammer struck the patellar tendon. Reflex amplitude is measured as the offset of knee angle from the original position.</p
Reflex amplitude of random groups in mean (± standard error) according to tapping angle.
<p>Reflex amplitude of random groups in mean (± standard error) according to tapping angle.</p
