Graduate student Michael Adkins was awarded a $160,000 fellowship from the NIH to span two years, which he will use to focus on developing a device to quantify the fine motor function of patients who have experienced stroke — the Electronic Grip Gauge (EGG).
“Ideally, this will allow for physicians and their patients to use the more accurate assessment capabilities to train their grip force,” he said. You can learn more about the fellowship award and Michael’s device here. Congratulations Michael!
