The problem we aim to address with this Assistive Technology Project is the challenge of safely going up and down stairs for individuals who rely on walkers to move around. Specifically, we are developing and designing an extension or modification for an existing walker to assist the user with climbing up and down stairs. Our client, referred to as Client X, is currently 96 years old and uses a standard walker for mobility both inside and out of the house (J. Wildfong, personal communication, January 21, 2025). One particular difficulty that they face is that outside of their front door, there are 2 short steps. Currently, in order to leave the house for a walk, Client X must walk down those 2 stairs and requires assistance from a caretaker to do so. This reliance on another individual limits his independence and can lead to feelings of frustration (J. Wildfong, personal communication, January 21, 2025). A major constraint is that the walker they use is wider than the staircase itself, which makes it awkward and unsafe do use on the steps. Therefore, this poses a risk of imbalance and injury for the client. Also, Client X is prone to lose balance, therefore, one of the major requirements is that the walker is safe and stable when used (J. Wildfong, personal communication, January 21, 2025). Our goal is to create a safe, stable, and easy-to-use solution that allows Client X, and others who may face a similar situation, to go up and down stairs independently. This will help give the user a sense of confidence, with the independence they get by this design.
