Abstract

Herein, we introduce SONIS, a wearable system to support gait rehabilitation training after a lower extremity trauma, which combines a sensing sock with a smartphone application. SONIS provides interactive, corrective, real-time feedback combining visual and auditory cues. We report the design of SONIS and its evaluation by patients and therapists, which indicates acceptance by targeted users, credibility as a rehabilitation tool, and a positive user experience. SONIS demonstrates how to successfully combine a number of feedback strategies and modalities: graphical, verbal, and music feedback on gait quality during training (knowledge of performance) and verbal and vibrotactile feedback on gait tracking (knowledge of results).
