Walking with robot-generated haptic forces in a virtual environment: a new approach to analyze lower limb coordination.

Journal: Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation

Published Date: Sep 9, 2021

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Walking with a haptic tensile force applied to the hand in a virtual environment (VE) can induce adaptation effects in both chronic stroke and non-stroke individuals. These effects are reflected in spatiotemporal outcomes such as gait speed. However, the concurrent kinematic changes occurring in bilateral lower limb coordination have yet to be explored.
