Abstract:Visual, vibrotactile, and auditory cues have proven successful in numerous applications to supplement or in some cases completely replace missing sensory information. Sensory substitution using vibrotactile stimulation has been effective in improving postural stability during stationary tasks and tasks involving perturbed stance. The challenge increases, however, when designing a wearable device that provides meaningful information during a dynamic task such as walking. Techniques that directly apply the feedb… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
