In 2015, I worked on user research, user testing, and interface and platform design for a custom rehabilitation treadmill. The treadmill aims to meet stroke victims' needs and recover professional athletes.

Overview of the treadmill


The treadmill only works if the patient is wearing patented shorts that zip into an inflatable bag inside of the treadmill. We then connect this bag to the onboard interface, which allows us to increase and decrease weight at the touch of a button after a short calibration session.


Decreasing bodyweight


Being able to decrease bodyweight means that patients of any rehabilitation level can use the treadmill. Whether you are a professional athlete or someone recovering from a stroke, the platform can help decrease your pain and increase your mobility over time.


Monitoring running form


Even if you’re not using the treadmill for rehabilitation, it’s possible with our onboard cameras to monitor your running gait from the side, front, and back. These cameras allow patients to make corrections in real-time with the assistance of a physical therapist.


Improving pain


Physical treatment plans are centered around improving pain, so, with this treadmill platform, we've created a way for clinicians to get hard data on their patients' improvement and for patients to see over time how they're improving in their recovery.


A web portal for clinicians and administrators


Many clinicians run multiple clinics, so we wanted to create a portal experience that gave a high-level overview of each clinic solving their patients' pain problems. Through this experience, you can register new treadmills and set up new clinics and learn how to treat your patients with the treadmill platform better.


A responsive portal experience


By making this a responsive experience, clinicians can take their web portal with them wherever they go as they are diagnosing and working with rehabilitation patients.
