Background: Proprioceptive feedback represents an alternative sensory channel that may
be stabilizing in both overground gait in a virtual environment (VE), as well as when using …

The aim of gait rehabilitation is to achieve independent ambulation. Somatosensory
augmentation with external haptic sources can improve the subject's ability to walk or stand …

This paper evaluates the prospects of using a novel Integrated Haptic Feedback (IHF)
system. IHF can provide over-ground gait training regimens for post-stroke ambulatory …

Background Integration of kinesthetic and tactile cues for application to post-stroke gait
rehabilitation is a novel concept which needs to be explored. The combined provision of …

Among most existing gait rehabilitation robots, it is difficult to find adequate devices for gait
rehabilitation of chronic stroke patients who can already stand and move but still need to …

Balance problems can be a major cause of falling. Existing gait balance rehabilitation
devices usually have limited overground usability due to low portability. Therefore, there is …

In order to avoid being bedridden, a preemptive walking rehabilitation is essential for people
who lose their walking ability because of illness or accidents. In a previous study, we …

In recent years, extensive research and development have been carried out for devices and
software that interact with the virtual reality environment. Omni-directional treadmill (ODT) …

Gait rehabilitation following stroke is often stated as the primary goal to improve quality of
