“THE MATHEMATECAL CONCEPTS BEHIND A WHEELCHAIR”
Introduction
Wheelchairs come in all shapes and sizes. People who have issues with immobility or decreased sensation frequently cannot maintain proper positioning or are unaware that they have swayed from an upright, symmetrical posture. Asymmetrical posture can lead to problems with function, skin integrity, breathing, swallowing and digestion. For these people, it is imperative that the seating system be measured appropriately for them. Wheelchair is designed to be a replacement for walking. Those who use wheelchair were people with disabilities. We as Future Physical Therapist must ensure the safety of our patients, one way to execute it is by making a miniature wheelchair subjected to various Trigonometric and Geometric Concepts.
Materials
For the Wheelchair: Old CDs Glue Gun and Glue Stick Sticks Bottle Caps Felt Paper Buttons Electrical Tape Bond Paper For the Ramp: Popsicle Sticks Colored Paper Old Shoe Box Glue and Tape Total Cost: 50 php (Some Materials are found at home and recycled)
Method: For the Wheelchair: * Prepare the materials needed * Glue 5 old CDs together, then use the electrical tape for the sides
Make a pair of it. (it will serve as the wheel)
* Use the bond paper to Make a Layout for the wheelchair structure; cut the sticks according to the layout you have made and Glue it together. Repeat it twice for the other side of the wheelchair * Get 7 – 6 pieces of BBQ sticks and tie them together when they are as big as the hole of the CDs. Make sure that the CDs can rotate. Put the Bottle Caps at the sides.
