Design and Validation of a Tripping-Eliciting Platform Based on Compliant Random Obstacles.

The experimental study of the stumble phenomena is essential to develop novel technological solutions to limit harmful effects in at-risk populations. A versatile platform to deliver realistic and unanticipated tripping perturbations, controllable in their strength and timing, would be beneficial for this field of study. We built a modular tripping-eliciting system based on multiple compliant trip blocks that deliver unanticipated tripping perturbations.
