Upper Limb Rehabilitation for Patients Recovering from Stroke: Low Income Setting

Abstract

This project seeks to address the rehabilitation gap between in-facility care and at-home care that people recovering from strokes in low-income settings face, with an overarching objective of developing a device to improve on current at-home rehabilitation methods. After an in-depth process of concept generation and selection, we selected an alpha design which we were able to prototype in order to test aspects of our design. With the results from these tests, we redesigned our solution to address the problems revealed through testing and constructed a final product based on this design.
