This thesis investigates on clinical applicability of a novel sensing technology in the areas of postural steadiness and stroke assessment. The mechanically simple Distributive Tactile Sensing approach is applied to extract motion information from flexible surfaces to identify p…

Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) have increased visual reliance after repetitive ankle injuries. Using Virtual Reality (VR) might induce the central nervous systems (CNS) to rely on somatosensory or vestibular feedback by providing unreliable visual cues. The aim of…

Concussion has been linked to an increased risk of lower extremity injury. It is hypothesized that residual postural control deficits due to delays in central processing speed or sensory reweighting are responsible for the increased risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluat…
