Stair chair

Create a mechanical device that temporarily handicapped patients can use to ascend and descend 3-5 stairs

Project Overview

The main function of this device is to transport non-weight-bearing patients both up and down an outdoor staircase consisting of 3 to 5 stairs. It should also allow for easy access into and out of the device for the patient. The device should be an inexpensive alternative to electric stair lift systems, as well as being resistant to conditions that come with Wisconsin winters. Additionally, the device should be light, but sturdy enough to withstand frequent use across eight to ten-week windows when patients are non-weight bearing.
