Claim One:
1. A method for providing motional training to a subject, comprising: a. providing a controller in communication with at least one three dimensional camera, said three-dimensional camera having a field of view; b. providing at least one force plate in communication with said controller; c. positioning a subject in the field of view of said at least one three dimensional camera, wherein said subject is defined as having a torso, while said subject is also positioned on said at least one force plate; d. identifying a predetermined task for said subject to attempt to perform; e. receiving signals produced by said three dimensional camera in response to an attempt by said subject to perform said predetermined task wherein said signals represent the position of the subject's body segments in three dimensional space; f. receiving signals produced by said force plate in response to an attempt by said subject to perform said predetermined task wherein said signals represent a center of pressure of said subject, said center of pressure having a location; g. calculating a ground projected center of gravity of said subject using said signals from said three dimensional camera, said ground projected center of gravity having a location; h. determining at least one threshold for variance between said center of pressure exerted by said subject on said at least one force plate and said ground projected center of gravity of said subject while said subject attempts to perform said predetermined task; i. comparing said location of said ground projected center of gravity and said location of said center of pressure to arrive at a variance; and j. providing vibrotactile stimulation to the torso of said subject in the event said variance exceeds said threshold, said vibrotactile stimulation being applied at one or more locations on the torso of the subject to induce one or more movements by said subject to counteract said variance; k. wherein steps e-j are carried out by said controller.
