| dc.description.abstract | A walking gait trainer is a device that helps a person who have difficulties to walk without assistance as a way of gait training. These trainers usually provide postural support and also walking support. Although there are many gait trainer products being sold in market, it is not always cheap and effective to use. The aim of this project is to design a walking gait training device for people who faces difficulty in walking. The target user for this gait training device is users with Cerebral Palsy. The device is also purposed to assist in correcting walking gait, to provide support while walking, adjustable and easy to use. The survey analysis is a breakdown of survey which has been carried out to identify what factors customers give importance to. Then house of quality and morphological diagram has been constructed as a medium to brainstorm ideas for the concept generation. A total of three concept design was obtained from the morphological diagram. The selection of the concept design was done by using the Pugh matrix method and as a result, Concept Design 3 was selected as the design of this project. The gait trainer selected uses linkages and sprocket movement to assist the movement of the patients. The design was created using SolidWorks 2016. 3D Design is the subtopic where selected final design is drawn and modelled in and SolidWorks for engineering analysis, simulation and optimisation. The parts that will be simulated and optimized in SolidWorks 2016 are adjustable bar, base frame and upper rod. Meanwhile, for the linkages, analysis such as position analysis, velocity analysis and acceleration analysis is carried out. Shaft analysis was carried out and for the flange bearing, bearing selection was carried out to ensure a proper and most suitable selection of bearing. | |
