| Abstract | According to clinical experiences, the therapist must accompany patients to monitor and guide them to walk in a correct gait pattern while receiving training. Otherwise the patients may build a wrong stepping habit, and in the long run may cause secondary injury. However, due to limited man power, therapists are not always available and the patients do not receive enough trainings. Thus the patients recover slowly to a limited extend. In order for walking disabled patients to recover quickly to their highest level in correct way, we previously developed two kinds of visual cue devices. One is walker combined with visual cue to improve Parkinson disease patients' walking performance, and the other is quadricane/cane with visual cue to help hemiplegia stroke patients. Although our studies show these devices do improve users' performance, there are still some problems while visual cue attached on assistive devices. For example, users need to coordinate the device rather than their own walking habit and ability, the devices may be limited by the environment outdoor or even indoor. Therefore we further develop a body-worn visual cue device in this study. The purpose of this paper is to develop the experiment protocols to evaluate the functionality of the latest version device for future clinical applications. In the simulate experiment, we get the preliminary result that the procedure is feasible, and the parameters are confirmed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
