Shoulder recovery strength tester

The Project

During a patient’s recovery from a shoulder injury, medical professionals need a way to quantify the progress. The current methods of measuring recovery are either inaccurate or do not record the patient’s range of motion. To resolve this problem, a device must be created that measures both the patient’s muscle force output and mobility. The solution to this problem integrates a frame and a force transducer to create repeatability and precision.
