On October 14th, our lab joined up with the adaptive sports group at the Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital to showcase our technology for the University of Utah National Advisory Council (NAC). The NAC is a group of approximately 130 individuals who work closely with the University’s leadership and administration to improve the relationships between the U and its constituencies throughout the state and beyond. NAC members saw the LUKE arm mimic their hand gestures and our low-cost upper-limb exoskeleton. They were all exceptionally pleased to see the work we do in our lab and were all very appreciative of the work we’re doing to improve the lifestyle of individuals with strokes and amputations.

Nathan Wallace (Undergraduate, BME) demonstrates his design for a low-cost exoskeleton, while Monika Buczak (Ph.D. Student, BME) explains the LUKE arm.
