摘要: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for reducing a risk of unintentional falls in subject that is at falls. The device includes sensor stimulator. configured to be positioned adjacent body portion the user changes orientation when sits stands. also emit an activation signal stands deactivation or lies down. stimulator communication with one calf lower back user. vibrate frequency stimulates proprioceptors without inducing muscle contractions upon receipt from cease vibration sensor.
