Project Brief & Objectives
- Goal: Design an adjustable seating solution for children with cerebral palsy that adapts to individual postural needs.
- Clinical input: Iterated requirements with therapists (seat depth/width, back support angles, lateral supports, headrest options).
- Constraints: Low-cost components, modularity, ease of cleaning, compatibility with standard mobility bases.
My Role
- Led concept generation and parametric CAD of the seat, back, and support assemblies.
- Coordinated clinician feedback sessions and translated feedback into design changes.
- Prepared manufacturing drawings, tolerancing, and 3D printed verification parts.
