Assisted Leg Holding Device for Medical Procedures Description of Project The assisted leg holding device will be designed as an easy to use, intuitive, compact, and inexpensive alternative to contemporary leg holders. The device will be safely adjustable to different body sizes and accommodate patient’ disabilities, such as amputations and movement disorders. Anti-gravity technology enables physically impaired staff to position the patient with minimal effort. The leg holder will not only meet the demands of the practitioner but will also contribute to a comfortable, safe, and non-threatening experience for the patient. Design I: A manual version allowing the practitioner to manually adjust the leg holder to the position displayed after manual weight and height input. Design II: A motorized version using motors to automatically adjust the leg holder to the position calculated after communication of patient height and weight from a scale and camera, respectively, via Bluetooth. |
