“…AMPS delivers mechanical pressure stimulations to specific areas of the feet, aiming to correct gait abnormalities and enhance motor performance [8] . While previous studies have shown promising outcomes with AMPS interventions, there remains a critical gap in our understanding of its underlying effects on gait biomechanics [3] , [7] , [9] , [10] , [11] . Comprehensive investigations exploring the long-term impact of AMPS on gait parameters, muscle activation patterns, and functional outcomes in PD patients are scarce in the scientific literature.…”

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.
