| The College of Engineering is currently working with the College of Nursing to develop a reflexology device. This device will be used by breast cancer patients in hopes to increase their quality of life. Reflexology applies pressures to zones of the feet, which are related to specific organ function. This stimulus provides a therapeutic effect by facilitating the removal of byproducts of chemotherapy. For additional information on how reflexology may impact breast cancer patients, please refer to this news article from MSU Today or contact Dr. Tamara Reid Bush directly. |
