暂无分享,去创建一个
Measurements of height of cane hand, cane length, step size, and forearm length of 17 cane, using blind subjects were taken for the purpose of testing the hypothesis that the touch technique does not provide 100 percent path coverage. Percent path coverage for the touch technique and the modified technique of Uslan and Manning was compared. The modified technique offered the complete protection of full path coverage and afforded subjects information about a substantial area that the touch technique did not.
