Embodiment Construction

[0079] "Electrical stimulation" refers to the application of electrical signals to soft tissues and nerves in a targeted area. Applying "vibrotactile stimulation" refers to applying a vibratory load to the soft tissue and nerves and mechanoreceptors of the target area.

[0080] The systems, devices, and methods of the present disclosure each have several innovative aspects, no single one of which is necessarily solely responsible for the desirable attributes of the present disclosure. The present disclosure describes devices, methods, and systems for (1) modifying or altering gait kinematics (or movement) via sensory augmentation and / or (2) modifying muscle activation patterns via increased motor learning To slow the development of and / or reduce the pain associated with knee OA, particularly during gait (eg, walking, running, climbing stairs, etc.). In some embodiments, peripheral nerve stimulation is used in conjunction with monitoring gait dynamics and kinematics and / or mus...

Abstract

The present disclosure describes devices, methods and systems for modifying or altering gait kinematics via sensory augmentation and / or modifying muscle activation patterns via augmented motor learning to slow the progression of and / or reduce the pain associated with knee OA, particularly during gait (e.g., walking, running, stair climbing, etc.). Sensors can be used to measure gait parameters andcharacteristics and muscle activation patterns. Stimulation can be provided to the individual in order to promote learning new gait kinematics and muscle activation patterns.
