Abstract
The treatment of gait disorders or impairments is one major
challenge in physical therapy. The broad and fast development in low-cost, miniaturized and wireless sensing
technologies supported the development of embedded and
unobtrusive systems for robust gait-related data acquisition
and analysis. Next to their application as portable and lowcost
diagnosis tools, such systems bear also the capability of
using them as feedback devices during gait retraining to
foster motor learning processes. The approach described
within this project applies movement-based sonification of
gait to foster motor learning aspects during gait retraining. In
detail the aim of this manuscript is threefold: (1) present a
prototype (the SONIGait device) of a pair of wireless, sensor
insoles instrumented with force-sensors for real-time data
transmission and acquisition on a mobile client, (2) present
the development of a set of sonification prototypes for realtime
audible feedback and (3) evaluate the sonification
prototypes as well as the SONIGait device within a pilot
study
