First Claim
1. A system for providing training by altering a user'"'"'s motional response, the system comprising:
- a current source;
a reference source including information associated with a sequence of desired motions of a user, wherein the desired motions include a series of movements corresponding to walking;
a sensor configured to detect the motions associated with the user;
a control program configured to receive data representative of the detected motions and to receive the information associated with the sequence of desired motions of the user, the control program having a control algorithm configured to generate control data based on comparing the data representative of the detected motions and the information associated with the sequence of desired motions of the user;
a controller configured to run the control program and output control signals based on the control data; and
a vestibular stimulation device configured to deliver a current from the current source to the vestibular system device of the user in response to the output control signals,wherein the control data is used to effectuate vestibular stimulation of the user if the user is not in process of performing motions of the sequence of desired motions of the user as provided by the reference source.

Abstract
A method is generally described which includes providing training by altering a user'"'"'s motional response includes directing a user to perform specified motions in accordance with a training sequence and detecting the user'"'"'s motions, by a feedback sensor device, the motions associated with the user. The method also includes generating, by the control program, control data based on the data representative of the detected motions and the training sequence. The control program is configured to receive data representative of the detected motions and to receive the training sequence. The control program has a control algorithm configured to generate control data based on the data representative of the detected motions and the information. Further, the method includes running the control program by a controller configured to output control signals based on the control data. Further still, the method includes delivering current, during a repeating phase in which the user is attempting to repeat the training sequence, from the current source to a vestibular stimulation device configured to deliver a stimulation current to at least one electrical contact, in response to the control signals. The at least one electrical contact is configured to contact flesh of the user.
