This project is about modifying a bicycle to limit range of motion in the knee joint. The project was presented by our client Dr. Scot Raab, an assistant professor of Athletic Training at Northern Arizona University. Dr. Raab has suffered a knee injury that resulted in his meniscus being removed. This severely limits his range of motion in his knee making it difficult to ride a bicycle. Although there are products that accomplish this, they tend to limit torque output, making it difficult for the rider to go uphill and attain high speeds. The objective of this project is to design a device for a standard bicycle that will limit range of motion in the knee with minimal torque loss.
