“…The participants were instructed to perform self-acupressure by pushing their body weight against the silicone pads at the four designated acupoints separately and in succession: at two points per foot, the head of the big toe and the base of the first metatarsal bone, which influences the monosynaptic reflex in the tibialis anterior muscle, in the active-treatment group [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] . These locations were selected because they have the highest sensitivity threshold for vibratory and touch pressure in patients with PD [10] , [11] and have been used in previous studies [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] . Moreover, these locations correspond to standard therapeutic Thai acupoints on the foot that influence motor function in the lower extremities [23] .…”
