With the use of a sensor attached to the body, Alexi will be measuring and comparing the vibrations created in the human body during the motions experienced during near fall simulations and real-life daily motions. Alexi is completing their MASc in Biomedical Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Calvin Kuo.
