Design of a weight distribution monitoring system

Project Overview

Stroke is a major issue in the United States with more than 800,000 yearly occurrences and 133,000 deaths every year. Many survivors of strokes experience brain damage that can leave their body permanently injured. An individual who suffered a stroke nine years ago and lost all sensation from the left side of her body wishes to improve her standing posture and balance. We are working on a portable device that will allow her to practice proper weight distribution by providing her with valuable biofeedback. We hope that by practicing with our device, our client will be able to improve her balance and overall quality of life.
