Recent studies have revealed that the stretch reflex responses of both ankle flexor and extensor muscles are coaugmented in the early stance phase of human walking, suggesting that these coaugmented reflex responses contribute to secure foot stabilization around the heel strike. To test whether the reflex responses mediated by the stretch reflex pathway are actually induced in both the ankle flexor and extensor muscles when the supportive surface is suddenly destabilized, we investigated the electromyographic (EMG) responses induced after a sudden drop of the supportive surface at the early stance phase of human walking. While subjects walked on a walkway, the specially designed movable supportive surface was unexpectedly dropped 10 mm during the early stance phase. The results showed that short-latency reflex EMG responses after the impact of the drop (<50 ms) were consistently observed in both the ankle flexor and extensor muscles in the perturbed leg. Of particular interest was that a distinct response appeared in the tibialis anterior muscle, although this muscle showed little background EMG activity during the stance phase. These results indicated that the reflex activities in the ankle muscles certainly acted when the supportive surface was unexpectedly destabilized just after the heel strike during walking. These reflex responses were most probably mediated by the facilitated stretch reflex pathways of the ankle muscles at the early stance phase and were suggested to be relevant to secure stabilization around the ankle joint during human walking.
