Standing Training Mobile Device for Active-Assisted Locomotion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Children with developmental motor delays, such as cerebral palsy, often miss opportunities for standing and walking training due to poorly designed assistive technologies and lack of engagement, leading to musculoskeletal deterioration and a vicious cycle of deprivation.
Innovation Solution
A standing training mobile device with a base, mobile module, lifting module, control module, and support module, featuring a manipulation platform and slidably disposed support assemblies to facilitate active-assisted upright locomotion and exploration, allowing patients to practice standing and coordinating hand movements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional standing frames are used for supported standing training, then children with developmental motor delays can receive musculoskeletal support, but the training becomes boring and children are unwilling to cooperate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a standing frame with a mobile device (such as a wheelchair or vehicle), merging the functions of musculoskeletal support and mobile entertainment into a single integrated system. This allows children to receive standing support while simultaneously engaging in mobile activities, making the training more appealing and cooperative
Solution Approach 2:
The device serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides standing support for musculoskeletal training, enables mobile movement for exploration, and offers entertainment through the mobile component. This multi-functionality increases child engagement while maintaining therapeutic benefits
2Ease of operation
If children spend long periods sitting in wheelchairs or electrical vehicles, then they can be transported and positioned, but their lower limb musculoskeletal system deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables dynamic transitions between sitting and standing positions, allowing children to alternate between different postures during the day. This dynamic positioning prevents prolonged static sitting while maintaining mobility capabilities, thereby protecting lower limb musculoskeletal health
Solution Approach 2:
The system facilitates periodic alternation between sitting and standing modes, creating a rhythm of position changes that prevents musculoskeletal deterioration from prolonged sitting while ensuring adequate mobility through regular transport opportunities
3Reliability
If parents push standing frames during training, then children can receive supported standing, but children become dependent and are not actively engaged
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device component enables children to initiate and control their own movement and exploration autonomously, reducing dependency on parental pushing. Children can actively engage with the environment through self-directed mobile activities while receiving standing support

AI summary
A standing training mobile device for carrying a patient to perform active-assisted upright locomotion is provided. The standing training mobile device includes a base, a mobile module, a lifting module, a control module, and a support module. The mobile module and the lifting module are disposed on the base. The control module is disposed on the lifting module and is coupled to the mobile module. The control module includes a manipulation platform and two control assemblies disposed on the manipulation platform for use of the patient. The support module includes a support frame, a first support assembly, a second support assembly, and a third support assembly. The first support assembly, the second support assembly, and the third support assembly are slidably disposed on the support frame respectively. The second support assembly is disposed between the first support assembly and the third support assembly.
