Equivalent Text Descriptions

Universally designed documents, slides, and videos require additional preparation to make them accessible to everyone. Equivalent text descriptions (EqTD’s) provide written descriptions of graphic elements, which helps not only blind individuals, but also persons with low vision or who have cognitive or perceptual limitations.

This diagram shows posterior, lateral, and superior views of the foot with 6, 12, and 13 black dots, respectively, indicating the location of sensors that will be used to model the foot of individuals.
Picture shows an SIMM shoulder model. SIMM shoulder Model
This illustration is a diagram of a dynamic model of the muscles of the shoulder.
Diagram shows a schematic of foot plates in a pivoting-sliding elliptical system. Top View of Foot Plate
This is a drawing of a right and left pivot-sliding foot plate for an elliptical training system. Arrows indicate the direction of movement of certain components.
Schematic shows the pressure distribution of a foot. Trio-pressure measurements for flatfoot
A pressure map of the foot is illustrated using various colors to indicate different amounts of pressure.
Diagram shows a upper extremity 3D inverse dynamics model. UE 3D inverse dynamics model
A diagram of half of a torso and one arm with variously labeled black dots indicating the location of sensors to be used to model the upper extremity dynamics of individuals.

Illustrations
Picture shows a detailed schematic of a pivoting-sliding elliptical system. 3D model of pivoting and sliding mechanism
A diagram of a person using an elliptical exercise machine. Various parts color coded and labeled, and arrows indicate the direction of movement of some components, including the foot plates.
Three views of a prototype foot orthosis D4 Prototype
Three pictures illustrate the construction of a foot orthosis. The left shows the hard layer, the middle the soft layer, and the right indicates the location of built-in wedges.
4 small pictures show a schematic of foot placement during a virtual reality (VR) training game. VR training game exmple
This four part diagram illustrates how a person’s foot movements including sliding and pivoting, will control the actions of a character in a video game.
