Abstract: Space technologies greatly contributed not only to space medicine but also to terrestrial medicine, which actively involves these technologies in everyday practice. Based on the existing countermeasures, and due to similarities of sensorimotor alterations provoked by the weightlessness with various neurological disorders, a lot of work has been dedicated to adaptation and introduction of these countermeasures for rehabilitation of patients.

The effectiveness of the support stimulation of the mechanoreceptors of the feet has been first shown in space medicine. In space flight during support withdrawal with non-use of postural muscle, this method is a countermeasure against sensorimotor disorders. Later, it was applied in clinical practice as treatment of motor disorders after stroke, in Parkinson’s disease, infantile cerebral palsy, neuropathies, and many others. The impact of such stimulation on motor control is due to spinal and supraspinal mechanisms, which are activated by creating an additional support afferent input through the plantar surface. Many studies confirmed the positive effect of support stimulation on motor control, but the protocols of such stimulation remain the subject of active discussion. This review includes (1) the features of sensitivity of the foot sole cutaneous afferents to the support mechanical stimuli, (2) data on spinal and supraspinal responses of the nervous system to support stimulation, and (3) the results of applying this approach in neurological practice via various techniques. Summarizing this information, the authors highlight the most promising ways and types of medical devices for foot support stimulation in neurology.

To date, there is evidence that support stimulation of the feet in neurological practice is a promising method for motor rehabilitation. The implementation of support stimulation is possible in various ways, but according to the results of modern research, mechanical stimulation of the feet demonstrates the greatest effectiveness. At the same time, the area, localization and intensity of mechanical support stimulation determine the activation features of the cutaneous mechanoreceptors of the soles, affecting evoked motor responses. From this perspective, the question of which type of mechanical support stimulation is the most practical and prospective remains relevant. In this review, we consider the currently existing approaches to mechanical support stimulation, as well as the results of their application in medical practice in order to improve motor abilities in patients.

Phenomena that occur in response to a decrease in support afferentation, such as a reflex decrease in muscle tone, structural changes in the muscular periphery, and impaired coordination of movements, were observed both in microgravity and in ground-based models of its physiological effects, as well as in immobilized patients and the elderly. The discovery of the concept of the trigger role of support afferentation in the activity of postural-tonic muscle system led to the development of methods of the support stimulation as a countermeasure for the motor unloading negative consequences. This review aims to discuss the results of applying the method of mechanical stimulation of the soles support zones to mitigate negative consequences of the support and motor unloading in space and ground-based medical practice.
