Acute effects of local vibration inducing tonic vibration reflex or illusion of movement on maximal wrist force production

The maximal force production of the vibrated muscle is reduced after 6 min of LV only in TVR condition. Furthermore, the amount of TVR is negatively correlated with this force decrease. When measuring the effects of LV on maximal force production, it is important to control and report any phenomena induced during vibration, such as TVR or movement illusion, which can be achieved by recording EMG activity of vibrated muscle and quantifying illusion.
