Project Overview

The purpose of this project is to develop an assistive device to safely transfer weak legged individuals from a wheel chair onto a clinical exam table. The device will need to raise and correctly orient the patient on the exam table. The design will reduce physical exertion for both the patient and medical personnel. The team is continuing the project from the spring semester which can be found in the project archive as (transfer_device_s10).
