Jessy is interested in designing an orthosis that enables hand mobility that is accessible and suitable for everyday wear.
EDUCATIONBS, Mechanical Engineering – University of Washington
Karley is interested in developing a multi-functional open source orthosis for users with impaired hand mobility. During her years in our lab, she gained experience working with additive manufacturing, HuskyADAPT, and deepened her understanding of biomechanics.
EDUCATIONIB Diploma Graduate 2016 – Interlake High School
Faris is interested in testing electromyography qualities, biomedical imaging with ultrasound and modeling human gait patterns in OpenSim.

EDUCATIONMichael worked on researching leg muscle activation changes as the stiffness of an ankle foot orthosis increased. Maximum amplitude in EMG curves, area under the curve, and muscle synergies were analyzed. The data Michael collected will help develop a qualitative method to prescribing ankle foot orthoses to patients.
