SoleSound - a gait analysis device with tactile and auditory feedback

Summary
Sunil Agrawal, Ph.D.
Technology Benefits
Low cost (compared to camera-enabled gait analysis)Five vibro-tactile actuators embedded in sole optimized to match sole areas where the density of mechanoreceptors is higherAutonomous multimodal feedback (untethered from an external computer)Feedback output is concurrently modulated by pressure signals and motion of the footOnboard power and logic enable patients to exercise on their ownPatent information:Patent PendingTech Ventures Reference: IR CU14306
Technology Application
Clinical analysis of pathological gaitPhysiotherapy to regulate patients' gait and postureMedical device for gait analysis and training at home
