Description:
|
The physical therapy clinic at Nazareth College
currently makes use of adjustable parallel bars to
aid patients in practicing walking. The existing
system is difficult to adjust (6-pin system) and the
bars are not attached to the uprights that support
them. Often, due to the length of the bars and
difficulty in aligning, the bars are not completely
horizontal. Additionally, if a therapist gets a
patient into position on the bars, only to find out
that the height needs a slight adjustment, it is
often difficult for the patient to sit back down and
stand up again so the session is aborted. To improve
the system, the clinic would like to have a set of
bars with automated height adjustment.
