Wicab Incorporated, founded in 1998 and based in Middleton, Wisconsin, develops portable, battery powered sensory substitution and training devices. The firm's BrainPort (TM) systems restore balance and motor control to people with chronic vestibular disorders. The products include controller and intra-oral device (IOD) components. The controller includes patient controls and signal processors. The IOD includes a tilt sensor and electrode array. The tilt sensor collects patient position information. Signals then are relayed to the tongue through the electrode array. Patients adjust their posture in response to the positioning of array signals. BrainPort allows users to improve balance, steadiness, posture, and gait. It can be used by patients with Meniere's disease, ototoxicity, labyrinthitis, and other vestibular disorders. Wicab also is developing BrainPort sensory devices for the blind and visually impaired. The firm distributes products across the Americas and Europe. The company maintains additional offices in Brussels, Belgium and Sao Paolo, Brazil. Wicab was founded by Dr. Bach-y-Rita.
