Project Background Who will use our mobilized standers? • Predominantly pre-school kids with Cerebral Palsy (CP) • CP is a “non progressive brain disorder” caused by damage to a developing brain • disconnection between muscles and the brain • wide range of motor skills/control • condition typically doesn’t worsen or improve over time • Some users are on the Autism spectrum as well *taken from familymedicinehelp.com *taken from cprochester.org 4 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13
Project Background What is a mobile pediatric stander? • Teaching Style: - Push In vs. Pull Out • Happier Kids • Physiological and psychological benefits to standing vs. sitting 5 Snug Seat Product Guide 2013 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13
Project Background Problem Statement: • A motorized pediatric stander is a device similar to a wheelchair, meant to assist a disabled child to move around their environment in an upright position. The device should be able to provide safe, comfortable, and smooth transportation of the passenger, with the ability to be controlled by a third party. A previous prototype used buttons to control its movement, but the start/stop was found to be very jerky and the stander did not track straight. The remote control functionality was attempted, but was not fully implemented. Safety features were not fully developed. • The goals for this project are to modify the existing prototype to include better safety features such as collision detection and a remote control for a third party. Since there are no standing patents on automated standers key constraints are cost and weight of the components we add. 6 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13

Electronics Housing - Current Design Pros: 1) Battery is secure Cons: 1) Components and wires are exposed 2) Battery tray is rusty and sharp 3)Battery tray in way of stander angle adjustment 20 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13
Electronics Housing - Option 1 Pros: 1) Battery is secure, yet accessible 2) One box, One location 3) Baffles allow airflow and provide spill protection Cons: 1) Need to create mounting area 2) May interfere with folding control mount 21 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13
Electronics Housing - Option 2 Pros: 1) All components contained and separate 2) Utilizes available mounting space 3) Utilizes current battery tray mounting *taken from123rf.com Cons: 1) Multiple parts, multiple locations (3) *taken from tadpoleadaptive.com *taken from ozprodrivers.com.au 22 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13
Electronics Housing - Option 3 a. b. Pros: 1) Battery is secure, yet accessible and separate 2) One location - utilizes current tray mounting + Cons: 1) Cumbersome - may interfere with angle adjust 23 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13

Wheel System Current Design: Pros: • Already implemented on stander. • Integrates well with parallax motor bearing block. Cons: • Stander had to be roughly modified for assembly. • Assembly and stander adaptation is difficult. We would like to implement a solution that integrates with the stander and the motor mounts in an easier way. 26 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13
New Wheel Mount Concepts Concept 1: New Bracket Pros: • More easily attaches to stander • Doesn’t require modification to stander parts Cons • Potentially difficult to manufacture 27 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13
New Wheel Mount Concepts Concept 2: New Adapter Pros: • More easily attaches to stander • Doesn’t require modification to stander parts • Utilizes existing adapter block Cons: • Potential difficulty of assembly. 14045 Week 6 Project Presentation - 10/1/13 28
