North Carolina State University received a $266,000 project grant award from the National Science Foundation to develop wearable strain sensors for real-time joint angle tracking in sports. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to advance science and engineering research and innovation leading to breakthrough technologies and solutions to national challenges.
The two-year project aims to design and test wearable strain sensors that can be integrated into sports apparel to track an athlete's joint angles in real time. This will provide coaches and trainers insights into an individual's movements to help optimize performance and reduce injury risks. The sensors will be lightweight and comfortable for athletes to wear during practice and competition. Project work will be conducted in Raleigh, North Carolina through July 2023.
