Abstract
A walker is a walking aid used by people who have difficulty walking around without
any support and wheelchair is a mobility device which has wheels on chair mostly
used by people who are unable to walk even with the help of walking aids. Over the
years many attempts have been made to unify this and this is our attempt in unifying
them with an added advantage of it being able to convert into stretcher. And by doing
so reduce the cost of buying multiple walking aids and provide an emergency backup
long after the products usage/life cycle is completed.
The goal of this design project was to create a single product that can replace 3
different products which are use for similar problems at varying degree of the users
condition. The 3 different products here are – walker, wheelchair & stretcher. Walker
and wheelchair are both walking aids for people who are partially or completely
unable to walk. It is walker that can be converted into a wheelchair
so that the handicap person can use it however he likes or however the situation
demaands it. The best part is that it is very flexible in terms of how you can assemble
it. It can be converted into wheelchair if the user wants to travel in a wheelchair or
just a regular chair if he/she is tired of using the walker and is just looking for some
rest.
