Chris Stipes | University of Houston - 10/07/17 : "University of Houston researchers in the Department of Health and Human Performance are helping patients with Parkinson’s disease regain stable balance and confidence in performing daily activities in their own homes. A research team is developing the Smarter Balance System (SBS), a smartphone-based biofeedback rehabilitation system that guides patients through a series of balance exercises using wearable technology […]. The custom, wearable belt lined with vibrating actuators creates a personalized, in-home rehabilitation program with “touch guidance" […]. The touch guidance from the vibrating actuators is almost acting as if a physical therapist is guiding them…

Vocativ : "Outside of a clinic | This robot exosuit helps stroke patients walk

Vocativ : "Technology is offering a new hope for stroke victims who have difficulty walking. About 80 percent of people who suffer strokes lose normal function of a limb and many have a hard time walking. But a new ankle-assisting exosuit could help them regain their stride.The innovation involves small motors that activate as the patient walks, helping them move more symmetrically. Similar systems have already been developed in the past, but they've confined patients to a treadmill. With this suit, patients can continue their rehabilitation outside of a clinic setting. The suit has proved successful in a recent study, and researchers are...
