“…This notes should be take in account because its agreed with other researches who studied the effects of vibration on gait training but for cases with other health problems. They found adding more motors or generate 3D vibrations could be more valuable for training 31,32 .…”

The use of wearable sensors integrated with vibrotactile feedback enhances patient's awareness and control of their movements during gait training. Monitoring trunk angle during gait training can lead to improve gait patterns and reduce risk of falls. This paper presents a case study of a female participant with through knee amputation that underwent on gait training using a developed system. The system consists of a single IMU (inertial measurement unit) attached to her trunk and integrated with vibrotactile feedback. Before and after training session, Gait analysis was done, then gait symmetry index, time-distance parameters, and kinematics of lower limb and trunk were measured. The results show improvements after training in time-distance parameters and symmetry index. In addition to reducing gait deviations (lateral trunk bending and vaulting). Further research and larger studies are warranted to validate these findings and explore the full potential of this innovative technology in enhancing different levels of amputee rehabilitation.

“…Long-term research found that KI, where one feels muscle stretch, could be induced by artificially vibrating the muscle spindle and tendon of the limbs ( Naito, 2004 ; Tapin et al, 2021 ). Neuroimaging studies have revealed that KI and MI have similar activation patterns in brain regions ( Naito and Ehrsson, 2001 ; Naito, 2004 ; Giannopulu and Mizutani, 2021 ).…”

“…In addition, vibration is better transmitted to the muscle spindle if applied over the tendon, where it results in longitudinal stretch of the muscle fibers ( Taylor et al, 2017 ). Vibration stimulation of tendon is an effective way to induce KI ( Barsotti et al, 2018 ; Tapin et al, 2021 ). In this study, the most obvious tendon location (i.e., Achilles tendon) was selected as the vibration stimulation point.…”

“…This paper proposed an enhanced LMI paradigm by KI. Specifically, earlier studies proved that kinesthetic illusion where one feels muscle stretch could be induced by artificially vibrating the muscle spindle and tendon ( Goodwin et al, 1972 ; Naito and Ehrsson, 2001 ; Naito, 2004 ; Tapin et al, 2021 ). Therefore, we induced KI by vibratory stimulation on Achilles tendon to enhance LMI ability during imagining kicking a football.…”

Brain-computer interface (BCI) based on lower-limb motor imagery (LMI) enables hemiplegic patients to stand and walk independently. However, LMI ability is usually poor for BCI-illiterate (e.g., some stroke patients), limiting BCI performance. This study proposed a novel LMI-BCI paradigm with kinesthetic illusion(KI) induced by vibratory stimulation on Achilles tendon to enhance LMI ability. Sixteen healthy subjects were recruited to carry out two research contents: (1) To verify the feasibility of induced KI by vibrating Achilles tendon and analyze the EEG features produced by KI, research 1 compared the subjective feeling and brain activity of participants during rest task with and without vibratory stimulation (V-rest, rest). (2) Research 2 compared the LMI-BCI performance with and without KI (KI-LMI, no-LMI) to explore whether KI enhances LMI ability. The analysis methods of both experiments included classification accuracy (V-rest vs. rest, no-LMI vs. rest, KI-LMI vs. rest, KI-LMI vs. V-rest), time-domain features, oral questionnaire, statistic analysis and brain functional connectivity analysis. Research 1 verified that induced KI by vibrating Achilles tendon might be feasible, and provided a theoretical basis for applying KI to LMI-BCI paradigm, evidenced by oral questionnaire (Q1) and the independent effect of vibratory stimulation during rest task. The results of research 2 that KI enhanced mesial cortex activation and induced more intensive EEG features, evidenced by ERD power, topographical distribution, oral questionnaire (Q2 and Q3), and brain functional connectivity map. Additionally, the KI increased the offline accuracy of no-LMI/rest task by 6.88 to 82.19% (p < 0.001). The simulated online accuracy was also improved for most subjects (average accuracy for all subjects: 77.23% > 75.31%, and average F1_score for all subjects: 76.4% > 74.3%). The LMI-BCI paradigm of this study provides a novel approach to enhance LMI ability and accelerates the practical applications of the LMI-BCI system.
