System and Method for Providing Body Sway Feedback to a Body of a Subject

The present invention relates to a system (10) and to a method for providing body sway feedback to a body of a subject. The system (10) comprises (a) at least one body sway sensor means (12) adapted to be attached the body and adapted for providing body sway signals indicative of a sway of the body, (b) a system processor means (14) adapted for deriving body sway information from the body sway signals and adapted for generating a body sway feedback signal from the body sway information, and (c) a subject body sway feedback means (40) having at least one transducer unit (42, 44) and adapted for providing a body sway feedback to the body via said at least one transducer unit (42, 44) based on said body sway feedback signal, (d) wherein said at least one transducer unit (42, 44) is or comprises at least one transducer, (e) wherein said at least one transducer is adapted to be contacted to a head of the body, adapted for vibrating, and adapted for transferring a respective vibration to the head, and (f) wherein said at least one transducer is adapted to evoke based on the vibration a multimodal body sway feedback as stimuli to the subject having a plurality of kinds of stimuli of the group comprising auditory stimuli, tactile stimuli, and vestibular stimuli.
