A coordination-retraining device invented by Kreg Gruben in the department of kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was awarded first-round funding from the university’s Discovery to Product program. “We realized the training needed to be very specific, and we set out to build a device to deliver that training,” Gruben says. One key step to commercialization will be to test the device with stroke patients with varying levels of disability.
