Abstract

Haptic feedback is envisioned to be a powerful tool in (digital) orthosis fitment procedures. In context of a larger research project on digital molding and developing a glove for orthopedic experts, we explored the use of vibrotactile feedback on the wrist for wrist angle adjustments. Five different patterns are presented on both the inside and outside of the wrist as well as crossing signals. Participants were asked to indicate whether the pattern was communicating that the wrist angle had to be increased or decreased by moving the hand up or down. The results show that the vibrotactile stimuli are being interpreted consistently by the participants, provided the patterns are presented on one side of the arm. Although the interpretations were consistent within participants, there were individual differences in the reported directions of the signals, which makes it important to take into account personal preferences and calibration when implementing haptic feedback.
