Holographic Hintways: A systems feasibility and usability study of augmented reality cueing for gait adaptation.

Background: Through providing on-demand visual and auditory cues while walking,augmented reality (AR) can theoretically cue spatiotemporal gait adaptations in, populations such as those with Parkinson's disease. However, given the novelty of the, technology, the type and extent of gait adaptations in response to such a cueing, system are unknown. Before such systems can be incorporated into rehabilitation, approaches, it is important to understand how people interact with the technology.

Gait Adaptations to Physical Fatigue During the Negotiation of Variable and Unexpected Obstacles.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate how physical fatigue impacts one's ability to negotiate unexpected and randomly located obstacles during locomotion.

Background: Physically demanding occupations place workers at risk of trips and falls-a major health and financial burden. How worker physical fatigue and fitness impacts their ability to navigate through unpredictable environments is not thoroughly explored in current literature.

The Trade-Off of Virtual Reality Training for Dart Throwing: A Facilitation of Perceptual-Motor Learning With a Detriment to Performance.

Advancements in virtual reality (VR) technology now allow for the creation of highly immersive virtual environments and for systems to be commercially available at an affordable price. Despite increased availability, this access does not ensure that VR is appropriate for training for all motor skills. Before the implementation of VR for training sport-related skills takes place, it must first be established whether VR utilization is appropriate.
