Overview

Many people with Level I and II Cerebral Palsy lack the awareness to how much grip force they use in daily life. SENSE stands for Sensory Enhanced Neuro Support Electronic. SENSE utilizes Force Sensitive Resistors (FSRs) to detect pressure applied from the hand and display the pressure amount to the user. Alongside this, SENSE alerts the user if the pressure threshold is exceeded. Furthermore, users are able to record the pressure applied over 30 seconds to be used via app. This key information recorded reveals underlying issues of the patient which medical professionals can utilize.
