Effect of Vibro-Tactile Stimulation Sequence and Support Surface Inclination on Gait and Balance Measures by Christopher P. Engsberg, Nathaniel H. Hunt, Steven Barlow, Mukul Mukherjee

“…We hypothesized that the <i>gait-like</i> stimulation sequence would be similar to walking without any stimulation and therefore have no effect on balance measures and that the <i>random</i> sequence would negatively affect balance measures such as the anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) margins of stability (MoSs) and foot placement area. <b>Methods</b>: Subjects walked at a level angle and 5.0 and 8.0 degrees of incline and with low visual conditions to increase reliance on tactile sensations from the feet. …”
