Donald Herring, Clinical Associate Professor Industrial Design, Arizona State University, project head, tech support, and
consultant on testing forThe NuttyBuddy™, patented, premier athletic protective cup.
Don received his BA degree from The American University and his BS and MSD from Arizona State University.
His research involves the design of upper extremity prosthetics for economically disadvantaged rural areas around the world. Along with professor Gary Yamaguchi, Department of Bioengineering, he wrote a joint proposal to determine the providers of prosthetic arms and wheel chairs versus where the recipients are for these devices, globally. The project was funded through the Herberger Center, for a CAED Seed Grant entitled A Global Network for Assistive Devices and Rehabilitation Design.
In January 2001, he began working on the design of the human interface components for a pneumatic muscle to be used in stroke rehabilitation by an adjunct faculty investigator and on a proposal for wheelchair and electric scooter tie down devices for commercial bus applications.
