Readiness Package. Also see PRP_13045_MobileStander_Micro-grant.pdf.
Mobile assist devices are designed to give someone
with a disability some independence and feeling of
inclusion. In the case of this project, we are
trying to mobilize a pediatric standing device so
that a disabled child can stand on the same level
as their peers and move at the same pace. This
project has never been attempted as a senior design
project in the past and as out benchmarking has
shown, there is no similar device on the market
currently. A device that most closely related to
this device would be the wheelchair that stands up
vertically and turns into a mobile stander.
