Project Description Physical Therapy Clinic of Nazareth College J.J. Mowder – Tinney PT Physical Therapy Clinic of Nazareth College J.J. Mowder – Tinney PT There is no commercial product readily available to recreate daily household movements. There is no commercial product readily available to recreate daily household movements. Our objective is to create an obstacle course to simulate a more realistic experience for stroke patients re- learning how to walk.
