Localization Ability and Polarity Effect of Underwater Electro-Tactile Stimulation
In this paper, we describe a method for presenting underwater tactile electrical stimulation for in-bath entertainment. We investigated the localization abilities of participants and the polarity effect of the stimulation, and found that underwater electro-tactile anodic stimulation produced a stronger sensation than did cathodic stimulation. Furthermore, we found that the participants were abl...
متن کاملControl of Surgical Gesture under Lingual Electro-Tactile Stimulation
Performing minimal-invasive surgical punctures require guiding a needle toward an intracorporeal clinically-defined target. As this technique does not involve cutting the body open, a visualization system is employed to provide the surgeon with indirect visual spatial information about the intracorporeal positions of the tool. One may consider that such systems reduce the ergonomics of the situ...
متن کاملNow You Feel both: Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation Induces Lasting Improvements in the Rehabilitation of Chronic Tactile Extinction
Tactile extinction is frequent, debilitating, and often persistent after brain damage. Currently, there is no treatment available for this disorder. In two previous case studies we showed an influence of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) on tactile extinction. Here, we evaluated in further patients the immediate and lasting effects of GVS on tactile extinction. GVS is known to induce polari...
متن کاملEffectiveness of an electro-tactile vestibular substitution system in improving upright postural control in unilateral vestibular-defective patients.
We investigated the effects of an electro-tactile vestibular substitution system (EVSS) on upright postural control in 12 unilateral vestibular-defective patients. The underlying principle of this system consists in supplying the user with additional information about his/her head orientation/motion with respect to gravitational vertical, normally provided by the vestibular system, through elec...
متن کاملA comparison between oculomotor rehabilitation and vestibular electrical stimulation in unilateral peripheral vestibular deficit.
Rehabilitation therapy is proved to be effective in reducing disability in patients with persistent symptoms of disequilibrium after acute unilateral peripheral vestibular deficit. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of oculomotor rehabilitation (group 2) on static balance and a dizziness handicap and to compare those with the effects to vestibular electrical stimulation (group 1)...
