In this paper we propose a system based on multimodal biofeedback for improving postural stability. The core elements of the system are: a sensor unit based on accelerometers and rate-gyroscopes;a coding unit able to A/D convert the signals from the sensor unit and generate three different biofeedback restitutions;a multimodal biofeedback system embedding: (a) a sound system for audio biofeedback including 4 speakers, (b) a belt with four vibrotactile actuators for tactile biofeedback, (c) a Video Display terminal for visual biofeedback. The study reports results from an application of the sound biofeedback to 15 subjects in a dedicated protocol.
