Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Feedback System And Method For Providing Feedback To Walking Aid Users", for Approval (USPTO 20240122779).

A patent application has been submitted for a feedback system and method to assist users of walking aids in regulating their gait, stance, and activity. This system is particularly beneficial for elderly individuals and those with conditions like Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or stroke, as it can improve mobility and independence. The system includes sensors to measure various indicators, a user profile, and devices that provide feedback through tactile, visual, or auditory cues. Different types of sensors and cues can be used to enhance accuracy and adaptability. The patent application also discusses the use of projected lines, vibration units, and electroacoustic transducers as part of the feedback system. [Extracted from the article]
