0755871SistonThe purpose of this proposal is to implement a program at The Ohio State University that enables seniors enrolled in a capstone design series in the Mechanical Engineering Department to partner with clinical collaborators from the Dodd Hall Rehabilitation Hospital to design and prototype custom assistive devices for persons with disabilities. During the three-year period of this proposal, we will combine the expertise in design of a Top 25 engineering school with the excellence in patient care of a Top 10 rehabilitation hospital. Ohio State Mechanical Engineering seniors have previously produced robust industrially sponsored projects through a year-long senior capstone design series. We will modify this existing course to teach Mechanical Engineering students to work with Allied Medicine students, persons with disabilities, professional engineers, machinists, electrical technicians, and engineering and clinical faculty and staff to collectively design custom-made assistive devices. Students will not only learn the basics of engineering design (e.g., defining customers? needs, brainstorming and visual thinking, sketching for creativity, engineering ethics, oral and written communication, design of experiments, prototyping techniques, etc.) but will also learn about movement disorders, basic anatomic terminology, performing responsible research with human subjects (including the roles of the IRB and HIPAA), ethics in medical research, and the regulatory process of medical devices. Seven devices will be designed each year and will be chosen based on conversations with the interdisciplinary instructional team and patients at Dodd Hall Rehabilitation Hospital. Potential projects include an instrumented wheelchair for the visually impaired, a modified hand cycle, dressing assistants for women following stroke, and a mobile arm support for children with cerebral palsy.

0755871SistonThe本提案的目的是在俄亥俄州州立大学实施一项计划，使老年人能够在机械工程系参加顶点设计系列，与多德霍尔康复医院的临床合作者合作，为残疾人设计和原型定制辅助设备。在本提案的三年期内，我们将联合收割机的设计专业知识的前25名工程学校与卓越的病人护理的前10名康复医院。俄亥俄州机械工程高级人员以前通过为期一年的高级顶点设计系列产生了强大的工业赞助项目。我们将修改现有的课程，教机械工程专业的学生与盟军医学的学生，残疾人，专业工程师，机械师，电气技术人员，工程和临床教师和工作人员一起工作，共同设计定制的辅助设备。学生不仅将学习工程设计的基础知识（例如，定义客户？需要，头脑风暴和视觉思维，创意素描，工程伦理，口头和书面交流，实验设计，原型技术等）还将学习运动障碍，基本解剖学术语，对人类受试者进行负责任的研究（包括IRB和HIPAA的作用），医学研究中的伦理学以及医疗器械的监管过程。每年将设计七种设备，并将根据与多德霍尔康复医院的跨学科教学团队和患者的对话进行选择。潜在的项目包括为视力受损者设计的装有仪器的轮椅、改进的手动自行车、中风后妇女的穿衣助手以及为大脑性麻痹儿童设计的移动的手臂支撑器。
