Projeto de Adaptação de Cadeiras de Rodas para Pacientes GMFCS (Gross Function Classification System) nível III

Abstract

To accommodate individuals with mobility impairments, the wheelchair market offers only a few models and sizes, despite the vast diversity of people, body types, and needs that require them. As a result, users often have to make postural adjustments to use their wheelchairs more comfortably, aiming to avoid permanent injuries. However, some of these adjustments can lead to serious issues or come at a high cost, limiting access for a large portion of the population. There are also some more affordable models, but they often lack well-designed projects or the correct materials and joints. This final project aims to develop parametrized parts in CAD software for postural adaptation. These parts will be evaluated by an occupational therapist in the future to continue the project and meet adaptation requirements. The ultimate goal is to develop a scalable, precise process and make this system easily accessible.
