P08003Portable Obstacle Course Presented By: Jared Berman Allison Hill Nicolette McGeorge Samir Mian Shadle Stewart
Agenda • Project Description • High Level Customer Needs • Description of selected concept • High Risk Assessment • Current State of Design • Schedule for MSD II
Project Description • Physical Therapy Clinic of Nazareth College J.J. Mowder – Tinney PT • There is no commercial product readily available to recreate daily household movements. • Our objective is to create an obstacle course to simulate a more realistic experience for stroke patients re-learning how to walk.
Project Description • An ideal course would allow for various: • Terrain • Routes • Lengths • Difficulty • Obstacles • As well as being an evolving course, it is necessary to keep track of how many, what kind, and placement of the various obstacles used during each session.
Major Customer Needs • Portable, easy-to-use obstacle course • Has to be repeatable, reusable and reconfigurable • Should be able to keep track of obstacle and surface orientation • Safety (patient and PT)
Selected Concepts • “Puzzle Piece” • Each piece with embedded circuitry • 1 surface type per piece • 5 possible obstacle locations on each piece
Surfaces and Obstacles • Obstacles • Throw-rug • Curb • Heater vent • Threshold • Shoe • Pillow • Bundle of Cords • Stuffed animal • Books Surfaces • Carpet • with padding • Hardwood • Concrete • Ice • Gravel • Rubber Mat
Surface Piece Concept • “Puzzle Piece” • Sandwiched layers • Embedded tracking system • Holes for obstacle placement
Obstacle Concept • Obstacle Peg attachment • Plate mount • Attach to bottom of obstacle • Fits into holes in surfaces to allow for tracking
Storage Concept • Storage Cart • Will store all eight surface pieces • Can be wheeled around
Tracking System Concept • Tracks what surfaces are connected and where obstacles are using switches embedded into the surface pieces • Microcontroller • Printer prints out the course setup • Makes the setup repeatable for tracking physical therapy progress
High Risk Assessment • Ice Length • Training • Replacement of Key Components • Obstacle Detachment from peg-mount • Learning curve for electronics • Manufacturing Time Constraints
Current State of Design • Project design meets customer needs • Design meets engineering specifications • Project is comfortably under budget • Allocated: $2000, Bill of Materials: ~$1600 • Need to stay on schedule to complete project in specified time
Schedule for MSD II Week 1 - All materials should be purchased. Week 2 - Begin manufacturing first 2 pieces and continue programming with microcontroller. Week 5 – Produce 2 fully functional surfaces with obstacles and send to Nazareth for preliminary testing. Week 7 - Make necessary modifications based on feedback received. Week 10 - Deliver final product.
