DifferenceMaker Engineering Challenge: ConnectKnee Gets Leg-Up on Competition
David Perry It was a cousinâs lacrosse injury that inspired Alyssa Mulry to dream up ConnectKnee, a brace that tracks a patientâs recovery time. Mulryâs cousin dislocated her patella during a soccer game, requiring long recovery. Then a friend and family members also suffered knee injuries. âI saw first-hand how limited and discouraging recovery for a knee injury was,â says Mulry, a senior biomedical engineering major from Rutland, Massachusetts. âOne thing stayed the same: a slow and often discouraging recovery. Then the idea really just took off after that.â...
