Abstract
We present an innovative wireless wearable, low power, noninvasive neuroprosthetic system that is geared towards detecting and preventing falls. The system allows continuous monitoring of EEG/EMG, detecting in particular pre-motor potentials to prevent falls of elder and motor-impaired patients by introducing a feedback action to stabilize gait.
