Hi guys, I'd really appreciate it if some of you can offer your input in a small survey 
. I'm in my senior year of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook and my design team and I are devising a modified exercise machine to assist physically disabled individuals in rehabilitation. The results of the survey will be compiled into a "user-needs" analysis for the conceptual stage of our design process.
If you're not disabled yourself, but know of anyone who is (eg. a friend or family member), it'll be great if you can let them know about the survey. Needless to say, if you don't want to divulge any of this information in public by replying to this thread - feel free to send me a PM instead. I won't use the information for anything else other than a statistical analysis, to judge whether people would actually be interested in using our machine, and whether the machine would actually serve a practical purpose for rehabilitation.
We've been conducting this survey at several places around campus, including the University hospital. But, I just thought that I'd shoot it out to SSF as well, since I post here almost everyday
.
Let me know, and thanks in advance!
