Project Overview

Our goal is to design and construct a device that will enable our client, a T-12 paraplegic, to perform standing orthopedic surgeries in the O.R. for up to three hours. The device should allow the client to cover a range of motions including: clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, as well as vertical and horizontal translation. It must be stable, serviceable, compact, cleanable, portable, safe, comfortable, affordable, and comply with hospital standards. Our intention is to design and construct a device for our client over the timeline of two semesters.
