University of North Georgia physical therapy students work with Greg Nix as they look to create a device to help alleviate pain in his back. The school’s physical therapy department is collaborating this week with Georgia Tech students to design and create custom devices for people with physical disabilities.
It’s a rare project that unites physical therapy students from the University of North Georgia with industrial design students from Georgia Tech. The inaugural cREATe collaboration, which culminates at UNG on Friday, does just that. The collaboration is a weeklong endeavor to provide assistive devices to North Georgia clients who have physical disabilities.
