Moon Walker Final (Stroke Victim Walking Aid)

Here is the final design of the walker. The lower two renderings depict the folding process.
So, basically the product is used by stroke victims with mobility problems. The user would be strapped into the leg guides first, then hooked onto the main support body. The frame supports the user in a standing position, whilst the hinged leg guides allow leg movement (supported to prevent injury). Wide wheels enhance stability while assisting the user in moving from one place to another.
The system is similar to a baby walker, the difference being having details integrated to prevent injury while learning to walk again.

Project done in collaboration with Tham Ming Yoong (Bachelor of Engineering- University of Birmingham)

Moon Walker Adjustability

Moon Walker (3d development of leg guides)

...more development on the leg guides. These act to guide the legs through the correct walking motion. The guides are adjustable to adapt to people with different leg lengths. The mechanism is hidden behind the lining.

Moon Walker 3d development

....still have the leg support to work out.

Moonwalker Brainstorm

Here is the proposed design. Primarily to increase comfort, ergonomics and safety. The pictures reference how certain technology will be adapted as solutions.

This is a project I am working on with a fellow Mechanical Engineer on a walker to help stroke patients improve mobility. Here is the original product which were part of a study of currently available solutions.
