You may be on to something with the idea of variable sensation. When I am off and stand up to try to walk, I freeze until I can "negotiate" an agreement with everyone. I must "renegotiate" each step. However, if there is something like a crumpled blanket on the floor, only the fiest step requires this. This is particularly the case when I am barefoot.

It may be similar to banding, but works better because of the variable sensations, resulting in the development of more feedback loops, that can be used later to help with motor problems. Or maybe it just reinforces and amps up feedback loops that are there, but which require sensation which was missing prior to vibration therapy.
