Solution Overview
Problem
Current physical therapy devices lack ease of use, flexibility, and efficiency, and are often expensive, making them inadequate for effective rehabilitation and recovery.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted physical therapy device featuring a backing board with vertically arranged hexagon mount sections and peg holders, allowing customizable placement of hexagonal pegs and straps for varied exercises, enhancing user interaction and rehabilitation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional physical therapy devices are used, then therapy function is provided, but cost is high and ease of use is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into modular components: a backing board with multiple hexagon mount sections, each containing hexagonal cutout sections. Pegs can be inserted into different hexagonal positions to create various exercise configurations. This segmentation allows simple assembly and customization without complex mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The hexagon mount sections with multiple hexagonal cutout sections serve multiple functions: they can hold pegs at various positions for different exercise types, accommodate straps for resistance training, and allow adjustable configurations. This universal design eliminates the need for multiple specialized devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional physical therapy devices are used, then therapy function is provided, but flexibility and adaptability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The device features adjustable and reconfigurable elements. Pegs can be moved between different hexagonal cutout sections to change exercise parameters. Straps can be attached at various positions along the hexagon mount sections. This dynamic reconfigurability provides high flexibility without complex adjustment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The hexagonal geometry provides multiple dimensional options for peg placement. Instead of linear positions, the hexagonal cutout sections offer radial and angular variations, enabling diverse exercise configurations from a single mount section. This geometric dimensionality greatly increases adaptability.
