Transportable water access device<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Development of a transportable device to facilitate access to water for people with reduced mobility<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Type of project:<\/strong> Feasibility study<\/p>\n

Disability concerned:<\/strong> Motor disability<\/p>\n

Topic:<\/strong> Leisure<\/p>\n

Status:<\/strong> Completed<\/p>\n

The aim of the project is to design a device to facilitate access to the water for people with reduced mobility (PRM) and to provide supervisors with a system to reduce their efforts.<\/span><\/h5>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]\n

During nautical activities (kayak, sit up paddle, floating gear) in a “natural” environment, shores, lakes, oceanic or rivers, the transfer of PRM to their machine can be tedious and even more so after the activity, during disembarkation.
This complexity when launching results in a limitation or even an impossibility to accept PRM during nautical activities.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]\n

This reduces their access to activities and has an impact on their physical condition.
The aim of the project was to design a device to facilitate access to the water and to provide supervisors with a system to reduce their efforts. A multidisciplinary team comprising engineers, students, therapists, nautical experts and PRMs worked on the design of this device.\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]\n

During the design phase, the system specifications were first defined including the system constraints and the main functionalities. Subsequently, the team prepared and conducted measurements and field experiments. The measurements and findings were then used to design the device. Several design iterations were carried out and the final concept was evaluated by experts for accessibility and therapeutic purposes.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/frh-fondation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Illustration-Projet-Acces-a-leau-4.jpg” alt=”Two people with reduced mobility sit on boards and sail on a lake” title_text=”Illustration Access to Water Project 4″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
