Diseño de máquina multifuerza para el fortalecimiento de tren superior en personas con paraplejia

Abstract

This project addresses a deficiency identified at the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas in Bogotá, specifically in the gymnasium of the technological faculty where there is a lack of suitable equipment for individuals with paraplegia. The main goal of this endeavor is to design an inclusive exercise machine for this gymnasium to promote equal opportunities, healthy habits, and overall well-being within the university community. Through methodologies encompassing research in biomechanics and kinesiology, along with the modified Earle design method, the project aims to develop a practical machinery design that can be adapted beyond the university setting to facilitate inclusivity and accessibility to physical activity for individuals with disabilities in various environments such as gyms, sports centers, educational institutions, and rehabilitation centers.
