Aging, injury, or ailments can contribute to impaired balance control and increase the risk of falling. Provision light touch augments sense thus reduce amount body sway. In this study, a wearable reaction wheel-based system is used deliver touch-based biofeedback on subject’s back. The torso tilt and, using wheels, generates touch. A group 7 healthy young individuals performed tasks under 12 trial combinations based two conditions each standing stance surface types three device status....
Reaction Wheels (RW) have traditionally been used in spacecraft to control their attitude. This paper presents a novel application of RW deliver kinesthetic cues for balance training through the development wearable device that can alike light touch. A prototype has designed 4 RWs as main actuators generate cues, and additionally system includes wireless interface computer evaluation purposes. Two modes controlling output were implemented, PID Saturated (S.PID). For experimental...
