Incorporate a variety of sensors into an existing walker in order to gauge the rehabilitation progress of acute stroke patients.

Project Overview

In the rehabilitation process of acute strokes (or similar conditions), it is necessary for the patient to be able to walk independently so they can safely return home. Our team must design a device that works in conjunction with a standard walker that will measure the speed and distance the patient walks and the force applied to the walker.

Project Status

We'll continue the project next semester!
