Alberta researcher creates device to measure back injury disability
Dr Shrawan Kumar of the University of Alberta develops a computerized device to quantify back injury impairment. The prototype uses sensors to track back muscle strength and movement in vertical or horizontal positions, recording data for a future database of normal and disabled back function to compare new patient results. Funding comes from Alberta province and the NSERC.
