A patented sensor sock records the rolling motion during walking and transmits this information to a set of vibrotactile actuators that are applied to the affected person’s residual limb. In this way, the user receives regular sensory transmission of the information from the prosthetic foot when walking.
The sensor sock as part of Suralis comes in different sizes and can be put over conventional foot cosmetics. Thus, Suralis can be used with shoes as they are accustomed.
