A health wearable to aid people with cerebral palsy. From Team Accessable Walking Therapy (Anton Soderqvist, Maddie Sloan) on Hackster.io:
To address gait challenges and provide an accessible method of gait therapy for youth with cerebral palsy, this project develops a wearable vibrotactile cueing system. Vibrating buzzers on the waist help the user time their steps while the system monitors the user’s gait to quantify the effects of therapy. The wearable nature of the system means it can be used as a patient moves through day-to-day life, providing functional therapy and realistic gait data outside of a formal clinical setting.
