Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Mouse

University of Texas at Dallas Fall 2013

This project was done as part of a semester design project in the Electrical Engineering BSc program at the University of Texas at Dallas. Our team built a brace for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patients that enabled users to control a computer cursor without having to grip a mouse. The brace had embedded accelerometers and gyroscopes to recognize gestures and convey this information to a computer wirelessly. I was responsible for the sensor selection, electrical design, and embedded firmware. We tested user performance with different computer cursor "agility tests" using our brace.
