LEGIT MOVE Elderly’s Exercise Equipment Design Older adults have different exercise needs as they age. We derived the idea from the workout needs of the elderly with mobility impairments to the needs of those who want to strengthen their lower limbs. Our design provides a new op�on for them to do exercise safely and efficiently at home.

Adduct legs toward the center of the body. This movement can strengthen the least-trained and weakest muscles located along the inner side of our thigh. Straighten each leg and hold for a few seconds to strengthen the Quadriceps and alleviate the Osteoarthritis.
Lift each leg and push downward to simulate our walking pace. This effectively strengthens the Hip Flexors and Quadriceps. Alternatively tapping toes and lifting heel helps to improve the flexibility of the ankle joint.

Mechanismď˝œ
Angle Constraint Linking rods and pedals are both subject to an
angle constraint to avoid any injury. The ranges
of motion of linking rods and pedals are 110 degrees and 40 degrees, respectively for each tilting direction.
Resistance Adjustment Resistances come from springs. Adduction
panel is connected to a vertical-hung spring
by a cord, so the reciprocating vertical straightline motion will be converted into a horizontal
straight-line motion, while a gear set regulates the resistance of knee extension.
Height Adjustment The default height of the equipment is designed to comply with the height of the majority. For particular personal need, an adjustment me-
chanism is located at the bottom of the body
and on the upper part of the rod, which can be set by the users according to their height.

BOROBO Vending Machine For Hospitalized Children Being sick and hospitalized is a helpless process for children because they suffer from physical illness and have to deal with invasive medical treatment. Based on the fact that no enough psychological care is provided in Taiwan’s hospitals, we offered hospitalized children with a recrea�onal design, which assists them to regain control, company, and happiness.

Research｜ Take the best children’s hospital - Boston Children Hospital
as a model, we analyzed its therapy and service for children. After looking at Taiwan’s medical environment for children, we discovered that most hospitals in Taiwan do not provide friendly spaces for children.
Children’s Medical Rights
About Hospitals
Taiwan has the highest patientnurse ratio in the world. Also, most hospitals lack entertaining spaces for children.
/ Issue
About Children
Children are afraid of invasive treatment and being separated from their family, but they can’t fully express their emotions.
About Play Therapy
Playing games is an important event for children, which helps them to convey their anxiety and gives them the sence of control.
About Family
Because of the inadequacy of nursing staff, family members are the main caregivers.
About Entertainment
Most parents provide laptop games for children to play in the ward.
Children’s Wards
/ Site, People, Behavior
Library
Lounge
Children can borrow the story books from the library and read them in their wards.
There are tables and chairs in the lounge, and people always sit there watching TV.
Garden
The only outdoor space on this oor, at which people can take a walk and enjoy the sunlight.
Ward
Children stay in their wards most of the time, resting and receiving treatment.

Purpose｜ Our purpose is to bring hapiness to the children in hospitals. Based on the reseach, we made the four guidelines:
1 Connect vending machine and hapiness via gamification. 2 Take advantage of the existing library. 3 Increase children’s activity properly.
4 Children can use the design by themselves or with family.

Peter sneaks into Mr. McGregor’s farm to steal vegetables but he was found and chased by Mr. McGregor.

System｜ BOROBO is a rolling ball game machine designed for hospitalized children. It has a series of finely
developed routes based on different storybooks’scenarios, so the user plays like the main character in a storybook and experiences an interesting adventure. We hope to lighten hospitalized children’s anxiety and pain; meanwhile, to improve their hand-eye coordination.

Features｜ BOROBO Logo Design BOROBO takes the euphony of Ball Roll Ball, which means using the big sphere to move
the small ball. Its form embodies the image of characters jumping out of a story book.

Details of Finished Model
A pressed spring inside the machine makes the opening on the acrylic sheet (grey) align with the tunnel that the ball passed by, so the ball will roll through the opening and ďŹ nally arrive at the lower part (red) along with some z shaped routes.
