Case study
Foot Allign Capstone
Foot Allign is a biomechanics capstone project that detects excessive out-toeing during walking and provides corrective haptic feedback. The build combined embedded sensing, IMU calibration, and validation against reference motion data.

The brief
Challenge
Excessive out-toeing can increase joint stress and injury risk, but practical real-time corrective tools are limited.
Approach
What we made
Developed a compact wearable concept that tracks gait angle and triggers haptic feedback when out-toeing exceeds a calibrated threshold.
- Designed a wearable approach for detecting out-toeing gait behavior and prompting corrective action.
- Built and validated prototype outputs against reference motion capture data.
- Presented full capstone poster with system architecture, device logic, and test outcomes.
Outcome
Results
Delivered a validated capstone prototype and full technical presentation demonstrating feasibility for real-time gait behavior feedback.
