Kathleen Sienko, Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering Professor, programs the mobile application of the Mobile Instrument for Motion Instruction and Correction (MIMIC) while Gregor Seidman, Mechanical Engineering BSE Student, balances himself in the GG Brown Building on July 10, 2013.
The goal of this device is to support clinical and home-based balance rehabilitation training by using sensory substitution. Sensory substitution is a technique of augmenting or replacing compromised sensory information. In the context of balance impairments, a sensory substitution device gives corrective instructions to a user during balance-related exercises.
