WEB
A Physiotherapy Exercise kit Designed to practice Fine Motor Skills and Spatial Movement.
Duration: Design Sprint - One week
Type of project: Group project
About the Project
Web is a multifaceted physiotherapy exercise kit developed in collaboration with the Department of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy at Hadassah Ein Kerem, Jerusalem.
​
Web offers a versatile platform for practicing fine motor skills and spatial movement through its set of interconnecting clamps that allow users to create modular wire-threading constructions.
​
Leveraging the benefits of 3D printing technology, the kit is currently being utilized by patients at Hadassah.
Background
The project focused on a working station in the department, which includes a table with an adjustable tilt and adjustable arms.
We were asked to design a product that is tailored to the working station and takes advantage of its benefits.
Design Concept
A kit for improving spatial movement and motor skills by threading wires through a modular construction
Design process
We built an improvised construction to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the activity.
Then we followed with sketching and hand modeling.
The kit includes a set of clamps with a variety of handles and 3 clamps with coils of wires of different thicknesses and textures, that can be attached to different objects in space.
During the exercise, the patient chooses a number of clamps, attaches them to the workstation, and then weaves threads between them.
