"we have started trials and the early results suggest that using the belt results in more efficient navigation than verbal landmark instructions and never results in error. Navigation errors are seen for way-finding following verbal instruction and passive route experience.” [Lawrence Grierson, postdoc, Heather Carnahan, researcher] [TRI (Toronto Rehab Institute)]
