The BalanceBelt is a smart belt that helps you to improve your balance during walking and standing. The BalanceBelt contains several tiny vibration motors. When the BalanceBelt senses that you are starting to lose balance, it will vibrate in the direction of your imbalance. Your brain will learn to compensate your body based on these tiny vibrations. The result: if you have severe balance problems, the BalanceBelt enables you to move freely again and look around you, without relying on walking aids. Professor Herman Kingma, who helped develop the BalanceBelt, explains its technology and application.
Note: The BalanceBelt is currently only available in the EU.
