“…Since then, different aspects of the walking in place technique have been examined, such as step detections, start and stop latency [20]; and smooth speed control [72]. Smooth speed control was important because of the phenomenon of visual cues making the users feel like they are running with a slower speed than the actual treadmill speed [73], [74].…”

“…The proposed system is designed to conform with "general goals for locomotion interfaces" suggested in [32]. In particular, the walking (foot-tapping) gesture should be easy to learn and use and should not impose a high cognitive load; the user of the interface should have an ability to use handheld and desktop devices using upper limbs; it should be safe, comfortable, compact, and should not cause fatigue and simulator sickness.…”

This paper presents an impedance type ankle haptic interface for providing users with an immersive navigation experience in virtual reality (VR). The ankle platform, actuated by an electric motor with feedback control, enables the use of foot-tapping gestures to create a walking experience like a real one and to haptically render different types of walking terrains. Experimental studies demonstrated that the interface can be easily used to generate virtual walking and is capable of rendering terrains, such as hard and soft surfaces, and multi-layer complex dynamic terrains. The designed system is a seated-type VR locomotion interface, therefore allowing its user to maintain a stable seated posture to comfortably navigate a virtual scene.

“…Similarly, the system looked for no steps for two cycles to stop the virtual walking. Since then, different aspects of the walking in place technique have been examined, such as step detection, start and stop latency (Feasel et al, 2008), and smooth motion (Whitton and Peck, 2013). Wendt et al (2010) proposed system used a biomechanical state machine to control the virtual walking, and found more consistent output speeds compared to a study by Feasel et al (2008).…”

Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool for studying and rehabilitating gait disturbances in different cohorts of patients (such as Parkinson's disease, post-stroke, or other neurological disorders) as it allows patients to be engaged in an immersive and artificial environment, which can be designed to address the particular needs of each individual. This review demonstrates the state of the art in applications of virtual walking techniques and related technologies for gait therapy and rehabilitation of people with movement disorders makes recommendations for future research and discusses the use of VR in the clinic. However, the potential for using these techniques in gait rehabilitation is to provide a more personalized approach by simulate the experience of natural walking, while patients with neurological disorders are maintained localized in the real world. The goal of our work is to investigate how the human nervous system controls movement in health and neurodegenerative disease.
