BOOST-WALKER

I invented the Boost-Walker, a physical therapy device combining a harness and walker, with progress-tracking technology, enabling patients to effectively monitor their progress in supporting their own weight. With the goal of making physical therapy more accessible to the public, I built and donated Boost-Walker devices to Ratchaburi Hospital, Mae Lao Hospital, and Srisangwal School.

Testing
the Boost-Walker

  • Designed a test with a random sample of demographically-diverse volunteers

  • Discovered that the first prototype was unfit for heavier patients, so I replaced the linear actuator with a stronger one to accommodate a greater range of weights
