Walking aids, such as crutches and wheelchairs, depend on the strength of the body to bear the weight, as well as the joints, nuts, friction with the ground, dimensions, and the type of material they are made from.
I think that AI and 3D printer I think would be a great help in this area, although I am not sure because I am not an expert!
I do not know with you that artificial intelligence will be the appropriate solution in the near future. You probably do not ask us.
Biomechanics plays a crucial and multifaceted role in the design of effective walking aids for the disabled and elderly, going beyond simply considering materials and dimensions. It's about understanding the intricate interplay between the human body and the aid itself. By analyzing movement patterns, force distribution, and joint mechanics, biomechanics allows engineers to optimize the design for individual needs. For instance, understanding how an elderly person shifts their weight during walking informs the design of stable walkers that minimize fall risk. Similarly, biomechanical analysis of wheelchair propulsion ensures efficient energy transfer and reduces strain on the user's upper body. Furthermore, it helps in selecting materials that offer the right balance of strength, weight, and flexibility, and in designing joints and connections that provide smooth and safe movement. Friction with the ground is also critical, and biomechanics helps in determining the optimal tire or foot design to provide stability and prevent slips. Essentially, by incorporating biomechanical principles, walking aids can be tailored to compensate for specific physical limitations, promote natural movement patterns, and enhance the overall quality of life for users, ensuring that these tools are not just supportive, but truly assistive.
A truly accurate scientific answer: Walking aids depend on studying the manufactured materials, the mechanical conditions of those tools, and how to deal with body weight.
Mohammed Alkhalidi Mohammed, your scientific answers and analysis of the biomechanics of walking or any other kind of "aid" for people have been studied for a centuries. What repeatedly occurs is abled people study the less abled and decide their needs and the best and affordable designs. Each requires less abled people to adapt to what abled people think is best. Over 6 decades we've used biomechanics to help improve these "aids". We still make things that are awkward to use. And inhibit natural movements because until we are less abled we don't. understand on an intellectual and emotional level the needs of less abled people. I suggest you put aside all the preconceived notions of what works and talk to and live with the people who need these items. Watch them. Listen to them. Stop assuming you know what its like to "walk in someone elses" shoes....
