Design of a Pusher Syndrome Assist Device
Project Goal
Current treatment for Pusher Syndrome relies solely on time spent with a physical therapist, who provides visual, vocal, and tactile cues to the patient to assist them in posture realignment. Our goal is to design a device that can assume the role of monitoring the patient's posture while providing feedback automatically. This will increase the amount of time the patient can receive active posture monitoring, thereby reducing recovery times.
