This project, the (Universally Expanding Cage), aims to improve the current market solutions to spine damage over time or during injury. The current market solutions are not flexible enough to allow adjustments over time. They can only be adjusted by multiple surgical procedures that will cause more pain to the patient in addition to raising hospital costs. Our project design aims to eliminate the need for more surgery after the initial implantation of the device. We plan to control the device through wireless communication outside of the patient; which in hand, enhancing the post-operative rehabilitation for the patient. This application will provide instant relief to patients without further expenses. This is promising for the future technology in the orthopedic industry, where most technology is outdated.
