Congratulations to Alaysha Shearn, Gifty Gracious-Ross, Jay Sprangler, and Mohammed Almutawa on presenting their senior design prototype at the Capstone Design Expo! Dr. Peterson served as their faculty adviser on a project to design a quick release hand grip for adaptive rowing, in particular for athletes with spinal cord injuries.
VCU seniors in biomedical engineering (left to right) Jay Sprangler, Mohammed Almutawa, Alaysha Shearn and Gifty Gracious-Ross do research at the boathouse to understand adaptive rowing and the needs of athletes with neuromuscular impairments. This team worked on a year-long project sponsored by Sportable to create a prototype quick release hand grip to improve the safety of adaptive rowing.
