A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEDIATING PROPRIOCEPTIVE SKIN AND BODY SENSORS, VISION, VESTIBULAR AND SOMATO-SENSATION ACTING IN COMBINATION WITH BRAIN FUNCTION OR NEUROSENSORY-MOTOR SYSTEM FUNCTION

摘要

An apparatus and method for improving functioning of at least a portion of a subject's nervous pathway system includes a garment or device worn or disposed on the subject; and at least one stimulator disposed on, in or within the garment or device capable of providing at least one corrective non-weight stimulus to the subject's nervous pathway system. The kind of nonweight stimulus provided by the stimulator to the subject's nervous pathway system, the amount, degree or intensity of the stimulus provided by the stimulator to the subject's nervous pathway system, and/or the body location of non-weight stimulus provided by the stimulator to the subject's nervous pathway system is determined by a reiterative diagnostic method leading to an optimal response for the treated subject.
