This project has been secured to protect intellectual property.

Infants with DDH are treated with a Pavlik harness that can rarely (~2.5%) cause femoral nerve palsy and stop leg movement; an early-detection kick sensor could prompt immediate harness removal, shortening recovery and improving treatment success.

Project Overview

The current state of the project is to improve upon the previous semester's work. The previous semester focused on using a coordinate sensor system to identify kicks, but were unable to distinguish them from background noise. The goal of the current team is to utilize an EMG sensor system to provide proof of concept for future work, obtain IRB approval, and conduct clinical trials.
