| Abstract | A device and method for assisting a user in regaining balance. The device comprises at least one sensor (21,22) for sensing changes in weight distribution on any of the feet of the user, at least one propulsion unit (12) to be coupled to any of the feet of the user for displacing a foot of the user when a change in the weight distribution on that foot reaches a predetermined condition, and a controller for receiving signals from the sensor indicative of the predetermined condition and activating the propulsion unit. When the predetermined condition is determined the propulsion unit displaces a foot of the user mechanically in a direction that results in the repositioning of the support area of the user beneath the center of mass of the user, thus allowing the user to regain balance. |
