Investigation of effective compression points in ankle hanger reflex

Abstract

Hanger-reflex is a phenomenon in which a sense of rotation and haptic force are caused by attaching a wire hanger to the head. In previous studies, we confirmed the occurrence of this phenomena in the head, lumbar region and wrist, but strong expression was not confirmed in the feet. In this paper, we investigated the conditions that efficiently and effectively cause the hanger reflection on the ankle.
