ABSTRACT:
A haptic apparatus may include a plate element positionable to extend over an anatomical segment of a user, and an elongate member coupled to the plate element and configured to be movably mounted onto the anatomical segment so as to remain substantially vertical and substantially perpendicular to the anatomical segment while the anatomical segment undergoes a motion. The haptic apparatus may further include a motion restrictor responsive to a control signal to impede the motion of the anatomical segment by generating an opposing force along the elongate member in a direction normal to the anatomical segment, thereby providing tactile feedback to the user.
