Attention People with Paraplegia in the Atlanta Area!
CATEA and the WorkRERC are currently seeking study participants who are paraplegic with full hand function to provide input on the design of a CNC (computer numerically controlled) workstation. Participants will test a non-operational model of a CNC machine and also provide input on new design ideas. Visit the Work RERC website for more details: Volunteers Needed for CNC Machine Research Study
Requirements
We plan to recruit up to 10 volunteers who:
- Are between the ages of 18 and 65
- Are paraplegics at level of T10 or below
- Have incomplete spinal cord injuries with full hand function
- Have good trunk stability with ability to lean forward and side-to-side without loss of balance
Both men and women are being recruited and minority participation is encouraged. For more information about the study please contact Xiaoyi Ye (402) 304-5951 for voice/TTY, or by email at xye@gatech.edu
