Targeted Subcutaneous Vibration With Single-Neuron Electrophysiology As a Novel Method for Understanding the Central Effects of Peripheral Vibrational Therapy in a Rodent Model.

32 Other common cutaneous and joint mechanoreceptors are thought to be more specific to light touch (Merkel Cells) and stretch (Ruffini corpuscles) and thus are less likely to be significant in the presence of prolonged vibrational input. 33 50 and 115 Hz vibrational frequencies were chosen to more selectively target Meissner and Pacinian corpuscles respectively.
