Push-up Enhancer for Paraplegic Patients
Paraplegia patients have impaired arm muscles which makes hard for them to move from chair to bed and vice versa. Patients during early stage of rehabilitation finds it hard to go through the push-up exercise. Development of a device which will help patients doing rehab exercises independently at their residence.
Design 1Exoskeleton is a kind of robotic arm which can be specifically manipulated in their kinematic and therapeutic design for our purpose of assistance in exercising. Exo-skeleton apart from assisting them in exercising it also helps them to be independent in daily activity.
Design 2: Scissor lift mechanism can be used to assist the patient during their early stage of rehabilitation. It can be fitted both in bed and wheelchair. All these devices are electronically operated where degree of assistance is decided by input current.​​​​​​​
Design 3: It consists of spiral spring attached with push ring of wheelchair. This modular design is framed such a way that exercise can be done either by allowing or not allowing the movement of wheelchair.​​​​​​​
