    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Neuroscience
    • Robotics

    Background:

    • Plantar vibro-tactile stimulation is used to augment natural sensory feedback during walking.
    • Current methods often lack real-time adaptation to gait kinematics.
    • Sensory feedback augmentation should ideally mirror natural tactile receptor responses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a system for real-time plantar vibro-tactile stimulation synchronized with walking gait.
    • To create a stimulation pattern that mimics the natural progression of foot contact during the stance phase.
    • To enable better understanding of real-time sensory feedback utilization in locomotion and other tasks.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed insoles with embedded tactors for plantar surface stimulation.
    • Implemented a real-time controller to detect gait events (heel-strike, midstance, heel-lift, toe-off).
    • Activated and deactivated tactors based on detected gait phases to create a sequential stimulation pattern.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a validated gait-like pattern of tactor activations.
    • The stimulation pattern sequentially stimulated plantar surfaces following the natural stance phase progression.
    • Real-time gait event detection showed minimal discrepancies compared to post-analysis methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed system provides a natural pattern of tactile stimulation across the plantar surface during walking.
    • This real-time feedback system can be applied to various live feedback applications.
    • Facilitates research into how real-time sensory feedback influences motor control during tasks like walking.
