Abstract
Hemiplegic patients cannot sufficiently weight shift to the affected side because of fear of falling. We aimed to invent and evaluate the Implicit Method that directs weight shifting to the affected side without it being noticed by the patient and reduces the fear of falling down. This method uses vibratory biofeedback to provide center of foot pressure displacement. A clinical study was conducted with 5 hemiplegic patients and the results showed that during walking, the stance phase of the affected leg increased after training in moderate paralytics. The results suggest that the Implicit Method can make hemiplegic patients stay on the affected leg while walking.
