There are three main mobility aids for children with CP:
- Modified Ride-On cars such as those seen in University of Maryland's Go Baby Go! Program
- Powered Wheelchairs
- Gait Trainers
The main customer goal is to provide a mobility solution for A based off of a Go Baby Go! Design. However, benchmarking is useful in that it can provide inspiration on how to further modify our car. We have developed a set of selection criteria based on our functional decomposition to determine what the “best available solution” is:
- CP-friendly controls
- Parent can control if needed
- Provides mobility
- Allows the child to have social interactions
- Is easy to use for child, parent/caregiver
- Is safe to use for child, parent/caregiver, and environment
