The effects of coding schemes on vibrotactile biofeedback for dynamic balance training in Parkinson's Disease and healthy elderly individuals.

Coding scheme for earlier versions of vibrotactile biofeedback systems for balance-related applications was primarily binary in nature, either on or off at a given threshold (range of postural tilt), making it unable to convey information about error magnitude. The purpose of this paper was to explore the effects of two coding schemes (binary versus continuous) for vibrotactile biofeedback during ...
