What makes CAREN unique compared to current rehabilitation techniques?
CAREN’s unique property is the ability to immerse a person in a multi-sensory experience. The person can for example see and hear how his balance compensation works. This allows for new insights in all disciplines relating to understanding our control and motor systems. CAREN creates a state which is not possible in nature. There is no situation in nature where a person is directly responsible for the motion of the ground he is standing on. This allows for unique observation of the adaptation process of our balance system to a new situation. There are no memories of such a condition thus the balance awareness of the person experiences a state similar to the learning state it was in when learning to stand or walk at an early age. In the 1st few seconds when the Feedback loop starts, we get a new understanding of our motor control and balance compensation strategies.
