Theresa Loce, a wheelchair user relies on a hydraulic power bath lift to assist her with entering and exiting her bath tub. Theresa has suffered from polio in the past and is gradually losing movement in her extremities as a result. The water-powered lift that she currently utilizes has been requiring frequent repairs due to its age (parts are becoming scarce, expensive and possibly unreliable). Development of a new, affordable and easy-to-use lift mechanism for her bath tub is desired. The final mechanism must be able to both lower, lift and rotate Theresa into and out of her tub in a timely manner, while taking into consideration the strict spatial constraints of her bathroom. An ergonomic and safe design is preferred. To view the initial information available, please refer to the following: To view project files and other information, please refer the following: |
