Early Physiotherapy System
Posted on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025
The system is designed as a physiotherapy aid for individuals who have temporarily lost movement in their lower body, and have been confined to a wheelchair. In normal conditions, such individuals would gradually lose their sense of balance due to their lack of movement, making their recovery even more difficult.
This device will be able to accommodate a person in a wheelchair, and during use will be able to rotate and move the user in 2 different axes. It will be able to achieve this using a mounted table, and hydraulic actuators to provide the movement. This form of therapy will make sure the user does not lose their sense of balance, hastening their path towards full recovery.
