The objective of this study was to explore the neurophysiological remote after-effects of resistive static contraction (SC) of the muscles of the upper extremity, considering the resistant direction on the ipsilateral (right) soleus H-reflex. The participants included 12 normal subjects with a mean (SD) age of 23.8 (2.8) years. The subjects were asked to maintain their upper extremity against the traction force, at a level of resistance that was 50% of the maximal SC strength. A 20-s SC of the muscles of the upper extremity utilizing contraction of the upper extremity muscles using a diagonal flexion (shoulder flexion-adduction-external rotation) or extension (shoulder extension-abduction-internal rotation), a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) pattern was induced. The traction force line of the diagonal flexion or extension direction ran parallel to the diagonal line from the left acromion process to the right ASIS. Three-way analysis of variance of the H/Mmax ratio with Scheffé’s post-hoc tests revealed that the H/Mmacorrelatex ratio of SC via diagonal extension was significantly smaller than that via diagonal flexion and that the H/Mmax ratio during the 120–140 s phase after SC, as remote after-effect SC, was significantly smaller than that during SC. The induction of neurophysiological descending effects for inhibition requires consideration of the force direction.
