520 3 |a Background: The vestibular postural control system affects standing stability on an unstable surface. However, it is unclear whether maintaining a standing position on different surfaces alters lateral vestibulospinal tract (LVST) excitability and body control responses following vestibular stimulation. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the soleus H-reflex following galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVSH), a measure of LVST, and post-stimulus body movement responses while standing with eyes closed on different surfaces. Methods: Twelve healthy volunteers (mean age 20.4 ± 0.5 years, 7 females) performed eyes-closed standing GVSH on firm and foam surfaces. Body control responses in each condition were evaluated using an inertial measurement unit to monitor neck and pelvic movements, along with surface electromyography to assess muscle activity in the tibialis anterior and soleus muscles. Body responses to the GVS were averaged over up to a second after tibial nerve stimulation. Results: We observed a significant negative correlation between the H-wave amplitude of the GVSH on the firm surface and the tibialis anterior muscle activity following stimulation (r = −0.666, p = 0.018). No significant differences were observed during the eyes-closed standing GVSH on either firm or foam surfaces (p = 0.568). Conclusions: Postural maintenance in response to vestibular stimulation may contribute to body stability by regulating tibialis anterior muscle contraction via the LVST. Our findings may help elucidate the neural activity of vestibular function-related standing postural control responses.
