Abstract

A new gait training device has been developed to provide auditory feedback of knee angle information to above-knee and hip disarticulation amputees. Traditionally, new amputees have relied on visual feedback of knee position during gait training (van Griethuysen, 1979). This auditory feedback system eliminates the need for visual feedback by providing a frequency encoded tone corresponding to knee angle.
