Design of a Multifunctional Stationary Bike for Stroke Therapy and Public Transportation
摘要
In this study, a static bicycle was designed and made that can be used as a stroke therapy tool, without the patient having to go to a rehabilitation center. The static bicycle design is equipped with a braking mechanism as a pedaling load that can be adjusted in size, either by the patient himself or his companion. Apart from being a stroke therapy tool, the stationary bike is also designed to be used by stroke patients who are already healthy to go somewhere or exercise on a bicycle, by removing the support, so that the bicycle becomes a conventional bicycle. This means that the designed static bicycle functions as a physical rehabilitation tool for stroke patients, especially on the legs independently to improve fitness, and at the same time functions as an environmentally friendly conventional transportation tool. The dimensions of the bicycle are 1550 mm long, 1110 mm high and 50 mm wide. The bicycle frame material is made from 6061-T6 aluminum pipe. Based on ISO 20957–10:2017 the static bicycle was tested for function, and the result was that the bicycle was strong and stable to withstand loads up to 105 kg. In the tilt condition stability test, it is known that when the load is 55 kg the bicycle is stable at a slope of 0° to 5°, but at a slope of 10° the bicycle is unstable.
