| dc.description.abstract | Hydrotherapy is considered as one form of treatment in children suffering from cerebral palsy using the buoyancy technique for training to give freedom to the child compared with normal physical treatment. The problem faced by the trainer at the Center
for Cerebral Palsy can be solved by using this buoyancy aid. Normally, a coach needs a lot
of energy to help these children while undergoing hydrotherapy treatments. This is because,
every size and gender are also factors contributing to the coach had to lift them particularly
female coaches. This is due to hormonal factors and age, usually boys who have reached
puberty, their nature and temperament are the same as with normal children. So to reduce
this problems, some better equipment for helping the trainer in the Centre should be made
for them. The other problem is because the prices an equipment in the market are very high
cost. So to help them, a simple and inexpensive equipment used with low cost material but
good quality should be established to assist them. Design and development of functional
specifications created to measure quality and make the difference between existing
products. Some concept that have been showed will be select and the best selection will be
go through the screening and scoring process. Technical drawings and analysis also be
made by using the design program CATIA. In addition, material selection is done by
identifying the design requirements. In addition, analysis of the product will also provide a
number of advantages to choosing the right material for the product. The calculation is to
find out the buoyancy of water and suitability of materials to be used in the product. The
cost is calculated and some abilities compared to other products. For the comparison,
although it is similar in design to other products, but it is more durable and the price is also
more affordable for customers. The weaknesses products are being identified and
recommendations made to improve the product in the future. | en_US |
