고령자를 위한 재활형 자전거 디자인개발

This study was conducted to develop a design of a futuristic rehabilitation bike (complex exercise equipment) that is based on technical convergence and with consideration for marketability and technological feasibility. The product was a stable-structural tricycle and having two types, a universal type (mobility + economy) for elderly people with weak muscles and poor balancing function and a power assistant system (PAS) type. It was aimed at realizing health care and rehabilitation at the same time. The futuristic rehabilitation bike, based on technological convergence, is to be designed with the suggestion of innovative structure (function) and service design. Prior to this study, a definition was made regarding its objectives, and analyses were made regarding the characteristics of elderly people, bikes intended for them and their measurements. Then, a trend of tricycles was analyzed on the basis of Eurobike 2014. For the development of design, the design trend of 2015 was analyzed in addition to the differences between the silver generation and the neo-silver generation. With such analyses, the design plan was worked out and the object was designed. A total of 13 designs were made, of which 9 were outputted through a 3D printer. The problems were searched in terms of design, and the developer detected technical, operational and instrumental problems and solved them. The final product was outputted, being divided into internal framework and external design. Resultingly, the futuristic rehabilitation bike (complex exercise equipment) has been developed based on technological convergence that makes it possible to realize exercise, mobility rehabilitation and medical treatment at once and is aimed at preventing diseases and managing daily life.
