Project Scope
In order to allow for more efficient and flexible Pusher Syndrome therapy, a wearable device will be created that recreates and improves the experience and efficacy of posture correction sessions without the need of a physical therapist. The device will respond to postural changes that occur in the coronal plane, however a threshold will be present so that normal motion will not accidentally trigger the device. Furthermore, the device will have the ability to provide sensory feedback to the patient to alert of deviation from preferred spinal position, resulting in the patient becoming aware of their incorrect posture and cueing postural realignment. The device needs to be easily deployable in a physical therapy setting, with a high ease of use for both therapists and patients; it will have a user-friendly interface so that technicians and patients alike can operate the device with minimal training. It also needs to be lightweight and not restrict motion when the patient is standing, sitting, or walking. If a power source is required for the ultimate solution, it will be able to last long enough for an efficacious
therapy session.
