Abstract

An apparatus may include at least one sensor bladder for positioning in relation to the foot of a user. An apparatus may also include at least one stimulation bladder corresponding to the respective at least one sensor bladder, the at least one stimulation bladder positioned on the body of the user remotely from the foot. An apparatus may include at least one conduit fluidly coupling the respective at least one sensor bladder with the respective at least one stimulation bladder, where the at least one sensor bladder is configured to compress responsive to movement of the foot of the user and drive fluid from the at least one sensor bladder to the respective at least one stimulation bladder via the respective at least one conduit.
