Sit To Stand (S2S) Physical Therapy Device
.1746061762695.jpg)
The challenge
This device anchors the patient down to provide the physical therapist a greater ability to assist the patient in rising to perform the sit-to-stand motion.
Who it helps
The potential users of this device are patients who are unable to perform the sit-to-stand exercise individually due to mobility challenges.
How it works
The challenge of creating a device that anchors the patient down is addressed by the S2S, as the buckling system offers the patient solid binding to the device to perform the sit-to-stand exercise while remaining lightweight and portable.
The S2S device is an easily assembled and easy to use therapy equipment made of CNC-routed plywood parts and off-the-shelf components. The device is adjustable to the patient's foot width and maintains the patient's stability while performing exercises.
