The professors of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Velammal College of Engineering and Technology, Madurai, have designed an equipment for ankle rehabilitation, which will be beneficial for patients suffering from stroke and help in quick recovery. A press release from the institute said patients suffering from stroke or rheumatoid arthritis were unable to go out and receive treatment under the direct supervision of a qualified physiotherapist due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, the professors - M. Maran, T. Kamatchi, N. Dinesh Kumar, M. Vivek Prabhu, and K. Meenakshi Sundar - have designed the equipment to help such patients.
Selected from 9,400 submissions across 37 countries, the 100 photographs on display traverse intimate and political terrains.
