Using D-Flow, we convert data from the feet, knees, and hips into force feedback instructions. Now, we situate the person who is immobile over the motion platform with a harness, and attach their shoes to the platform with Velcro. The platform' s inverse kinematic motion, according to the force feedback input, establishes a normal walking pattern in the subject's limbs that may aid in retraining patients, for example, after spinal injury. Run in cooperation with Beatrixnoord, a Dutch rehabilitation center, the laboratory may provide new insight into physiotherapy, orthopedics, neurology, and the early diagnosis of a wide range of balance and coordination disorders. It can be used to record and analyze an airline pilot's motions during flight simulator training to improve cockpit ergonomics.
Sports training is another potential area of use.
D-Flow can be used to reduce this tendency by capturing the athlete's movements on the motion platform. The system intervenes to relocate the platform surface where it eliminates the bounce. Sports therapists, doctors, and others can run full experiments in real time from any distance, while remotely located workers can simultaneously operate in an immersive force-feedback environment as if they were in the same facility together.
