Experimental set-up. The participant was asked to stay still in the standing position, wearing headphones and our portable device composed by: (A) a sensor (IMU) placed on the back at L3 level; (B) the microprocessor unity connected to the PC via Wi-Fi; (C) two vibration motors attached to the skin of the participant: on the back and on the abdomen at L5 level. The IMU recorded the accelerometric signal and sent it to a microprocessor (WiPy) that saved them on a microSD card. The accelerometric measurements were used for controlling the vibration motors.
