Research Spotlight
Our collaborative group of students from the BME department created and presented their senior design project in which they developed a device that engages children aged 5- 12 in various tasks that require distinct grip articulations, enabling the collection of movement and force data.
This project represents a significant advancement in the study of muscular development in children with cerebral palsy, promising to enhance both the scope and depth of future research in this vital area.
