WALKING STICK WITH SEAT AND UMBRELLA

2.0 Abstract

Some people use walking stick to assist them when walking because their leg is not strong enough to support their body weight or they've injured their leg. They will feel tired easily when walking with the assistance of walking stick due to the need of synchronization between their hand which hold the stick and their legs. Therefore, they will need to sit down and rest before they continue walking. The problem arises when they are in the middle of a path where seats can't be found. During a rainy or sunny day, it's hard for them to walk fast to find a shelter to avoid the rain and UV light. Therefore it would be better if the umbrella and walking stick is in the same part which is the user can used it at any time. The design should be in light weight so that it wouldn’t add more burdens to the user and the structure would be strong enough to withstand the weight of a user. The surface of the seat would be large enough for the user and the seat also would be in appropriate height so that the person can seat and stand easily. The seat also should strong and stable to ensure the user safety when using it. A folding chair with the shape of a walking stick after it is folded is suggested which means it has a single vertical member touching the ground after it is folded and the other trusses floating without disturbing the user. The adjustable height is to ensure that people with several of height can use it. The handle with absorber in it is to ensure that user does not feel pain under their armpit where the handle will be put under it and the absorber will absorb the impact and reduce the pain. The mechanism is multifunction which can be used as a long walking stick or short walking stick. The stick can be separated into two where it can be a common walking stick with a hand rest.

    The likelihood of an injury from this hazard is high as people could trip over it, maybe rushing to an emergency and the chair is blocking the way and causing a risk to staff and patients. The severity of injury is that someone could break/fracture a bone depending on how hard the fall is or the age/health of the patient. However we understand that some people need to be transported by wheelchairs as they cannot walk from a leg injury or they may just not be able to walk very far from where they were coming from. A porter may have left the wheelchair just in case an emergency occurred and we needed to transport someone quickly to a place who couldn’t walk/ walk far. The wheelchair could also be a hazard to children who decide to play on them as the brakes may not be on which would cause the wheelchair to move whilst a child was on it. This could mean that a child would end up falling and the wheelchair falling over causing another risk from the wheelchair being left…

    As my partner and I maneuvered around campus, we came across various barriers which would hinder the best performance of an individual in a wheelchair. For example, in Birch Hall we attempted to access the available study rooms, but the doors to the study rooms are made of thick glass, making the process of opening the door extremely difficult. Moreover, we traveled from the Birch building to the Hickory building, entering a steep path. We identified that a person in a wheelchair could potentially lose control as a result of the path’s downhill nature. In addition, when we reached the Hickory building, we found that the restrooms had no doors. Although, at first, this would appear to benefit an individual with a wheelchair, the walls curved…

    step a person can walk farther in life. Both figuratively and literally with a helping hand. It is hard to make it throughout life without any assistance. With this in mind, dating back to the 1700’s society has focused on making the world easier to maneuver but, not without the use of a stool. It is just like a friend that helps give direction when life is a little hard. A stool is a friend in that it supports a person in his hardest time, guiding him in the right direction while still letting him go his own way.…

    Robie 1

    • 432 Words

    We began by making a simple full-size prototype with accurate angles and dimensions. We picked out an old chair that was at our dispense and were able to disguise it as the Robie 1 by attaching a long piece of cardboard with vertical dal rods to simulate the rungs in the back. This confirmed our suspicions that the 90° rigid back is uncomfortable and provides no lumbar support. Using the measurements from the dimensioned drawing, we found where the chair failed when compared to the anthropometrics of a human. With the seat at 18" high, it is 1.8" too short for the median man, 3.7" too short for the 99%, and .7" too tall for the 1%. This highlights the necessity for adjustable heights, however, we couldn't pin down how to make that work for a chair like this. Therefore, I will be drawing the chair for myself, with a seat at 20" high. The next issue deals with seat depth. At 17.9" deep, the chair is .8" too long for the median man, 2.7" too long for the 1%, and .5" too short for the 99%. However, after adding in the rule of having a fist-width between your leg and the edge of the chair, the seat is too deep for all of them. For myself, I estimate a necessary seat depth of 15". With a seat width of 15.75", it is 1.55" too wide for the median man, and 4.35" too wide for the 1%, and 1.15" too narrow for the 99%. However, the seat being wider than necessary is no problem, so I will leave it be.…

    Sometimes individuals may want to do something which could be a risk to their Health and safety. As a support worker you have a duty of care to that person and you must do all that you can to keep them safe but you also have a duty to respect the individuals rights and choice, so you have a dilemma. It could be that the individual no longer wishes to use their walking sticks, but their care plan states that they needs them to enable movement of their joints and you are to ensure you encourage it’s use and not the wheelchair. In this scenario you could carry out a risk assessment to ensure that it is managed as safely as possible. You would need to explain the risks involved to the individual and make sure they understand. You could come to a compromise, to use the wheelchair for a short period of time and then walk with the sticks for a short period of time, , then monitor the situation. All this should be documented including any risk assessment carried out. If the individual still insists on using the wheelchair you should get them to sign to say they are aware of the risks involved. Another scenario could be that an individual refuses their medication. Remind them of why they take the medication and it’s benefits and again advise…

    Proper Fall Prevention

    Falling mainly occurs when a person is not careful. This may include for that person to rely on inappropriate medicines, not watching where he/she is going, not using rubber based sole and not being physically active or strong (Balzer, 2012). The results of a fall are always injurious to health and may even be fatal. Treating the resulting injuries is not at all the solution to this issue. Proper prevention methods are to be taken in order to eradicate this risk once and for all. Programs related to the prevention of falling must be carried out to guide the population with the best ways by which they could prevent their falls. There is clear evidence based solution that is managed exercise program in home and walking practice under the…

    The aim of the project is to find a manual handling aid that will effectively assist a service user to get off the floor if they have a fall. I am basing the project on the care home where I work. I work in a residential home that supports 20 people. We have no means of getting manual handling equipment such as a hoist or stand aid in the lift so I have decided to look into purchasing an Elk.
