Step rate monitor for Running Analysis

Project Overview

Our proposed design project is to create a device that will identify a runner’s step rate as they are running on a treadmill. The step rate monitor will be mounted on the treadmill and a step will be identified from a biologically relevant signal. Step rate feedback will be provided to the patient and the clinician in real time to assist in the running analysis. An additional application for this device includes identification of the relative magnitude of the ground reaction forces. It is intended that this device will be used in clinical settings, such as the UW Runners’ Clinic. Future adaptations of our design will allow for portability and versatility for implementation in other clinics.
