BALANCE PROSTHESIS

摘要

A wearable prosthesis provides a information indicative of a wearer's spatial orientation. The balance prosthesis includes a motion sensing system (12) to be worn by the wearer and a signal processor (14) in communication with the motion sensing system. The signal processor provides an orientation signal to an encoder (16). The encoder generates a feedback signal on the basis of the estimate of the spatial orientation provides that signal to a stimulator coupled to the wearer's nervous system.
