dc.description.abstractThe effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) have individual differences in sensory presentation. These differences may stem from variations in the user's biological structure, including body size and skin conditions. In particular, TENS of the lower limbs is assumed to be affected by the differences in biological structure because the muscles of the lower limbs are larger than the muscles of the upper limbs, and a certain number of people have more hair on their skin than those of the upper limbs. Identifying the factors that explain these individual differences in TENS is crucial for evaluating the potential applications of TENS and developing appropriate research protocols in the future. In this study, we examined the individual differences in the effects of TENS by focusing on tendon electrical stimulation of the ankle, a method that presents body tilt sensations. Specifically, we investigated the correlation between the body tilt sensations and demographic (age, gender) or biostructure metrics (body weight, body fat percentage, etc.) in 28 experimental participants. The results revealed significant differences in the correct answer rate and the magnitude of body tilt sensations based on gender. Furthermore, there was a correlation between the correct answer rate or magnitude and the age of female participants at specific stimulation intensities. No biostructure metrics in this study were sufficiently correlated with the correct answer rate or magnitude of body tilt sensations.en_US
