Summary: |
By means of clinical analysis, it has been observed that patients who must remain in bed for long periods due to the nature of the pathology they suffer, develope pressure sores by decubitus which become serious complications themselves. In our thesis we intend to propose an alternative from our Industrial Design point of view, we'll explain how to avoid the problems aforementioned. For the development of this thesis we've chosen computer software from CAD systems as an instrumental methodology. These systems allowed as to develop a theoretical model of interface. The empirical foundation on which our model is based, lies on the systematic analysis of the classic technique of pressore sores prevention. In computer simulation, a flexible plate, driven by a set of actuators, defines a kinematic behavior equivalent to the one produced by classic method. Two theoretical models were used, Model 1 and Model 2. Model 2 was created as a consequence of certain functional and ergonomic disorders found in electronic 3D maquettes developed during the design of Model 1. The development of Model 2 became the significant nucleus upon which the exposition of the theoretical model was centered. |
