MEDTECH · rehabilitation · force sensors · FDA device

← All cases

Problem context

The client required a rehabilitation device allowing physicians to gradually increase load on injured limbs during patient recovery.

Constraints

  • Accurate force measurement
  • Mechanical durability
  • Regulatory compliance

Engineering decisions

Decision: Custom force sensor development
Reason: Off-the-shelf sensors did not meet accuracy needs.
Trade-off: Additional R&D effort.
Decision: FEM-based mechanical validation
Reason: Ensures long-term durability.
Trade-off: Longer design cycle.

System overview

Rehabilitation device with proprietary force sensors, embedded electronics, and validated mechanical structure.

Outcome

Unique force sensors developed. 100 device pairs produced. FDA registration achieved.

Engagement delivered under NDA. Details anonymized.
