Interactive Physical Therapy Project

In collaboration with Birkdale Neuro-Rehab of London, England, our five-person team worked to create an innovative physical therapy solution for recovering stroke victims. Our prototype was fully engineered from the ground-up in a 2-week period of brainstorming and development, and features both hardware and software to create an immersive and engaging therapeutic experience.

Controller

The prototype controller we created for the project. It employs an Arduino connected to a bluetooth module and some concealed circuitry connected to a pressure sensor to allow the user to control video games by squeezing their hand. In combination with an electrode attached to the upper arm, this allows patients to practice regaining fine motor control of their hands after suffering from a stroke or other traumatic experience.

Report

The full 49 page report, including regulatory concerns, the brainstorming and design process, our group's roles on the project, and notes from the study, can be found here.
