N2 - This paper describes the effects of tactile stimulation near the auricles on body sway in during foot stamping. The system measures center of pressure, acceleration of upper body, and whole-body movements by skeleton tracking with a depth camera while the participant performs foot stamping on the stabilometer, and extracts evaluation indices based on four perspectives: The amplitude, variation of body sway, rhythm of body sway, and correlation between of each limb. In the prototype experiment conducted with one healthy male, the body sway during foot stamping for ten trials in non-stimulus condition is compared with that for two trials in stimulus condition that the constant tactile stimulus is applied. As a result, the variation of the movement of lower limb and upper body sway were significantly reduced. This result implies that applying the constant tactile stimulation near both of auricles may be effective in stabilizing posture during foot stamping.
