The high prevalence of stroke among the elder population is of particular concern and poses serious challenges to daily functions such as locomotion. In light of these challenges, the use of haptic stimuli has been developed as a strategy to help stabilize gait and posture. These stimuli come in difference forms - from earth-fixed surfaces to elaborate wearable devices promoting stability. Many methods involve some form of contact or weight bearing to bring on a somatosensory stimulus, while much fewer investigate external forces brought on to the body. The present study offered a novel approach by applying haptic tensile forces on the hand, in the direction of locomotion, to study changes in gait outcomes. Changes in these gait parameters ...
