Multimodal Haptic Feedback for Plantar Sensory Substitution
Plantar sensation is crucial for gait, balance, and posture, and its loss contributes to movement disorders in conditions like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, stroke, and spinal cord injury. Current diagnostic methods use pressure sensor arrays to assess gait deficiencies, with wireless insole technology extending data collection beyond clinical settings. Building on these advances, we are investigating sensory substitution as a potential solution to restore lost plantar sensation and improve outcomes for affected individuals.

Development of somatosensory interfaces for the restoration of proprioception
Studies have revealed that this loss of somatosensation (the "sense of the body") in the very unusual cases when normal strength is preserved, makes standing, walking, and normal arm movements almost impossible.
