Abstract

Page 1 of 1. Summary of the Invention: The invention of the remote-controlled training vehicle for children with cerebral palsy aims to aid in physical rehabilitation related to sitting and balance. It trains children to sit in an upright posture with their hips and arms at approximately a 90-degree angle to the front of their thighs, the angle between their knees and ankles at approximately 90 degrees. This relaxed sitting posture allows for arm exercises to rehabilitate the wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints through the up-and-down lever. With consistent practice, this device will help children with cerebral palsy use weakened limbs, reduce muscle stiffness and contractures in the arms, relax the hips, and improve sitting balance. This leads to improved self-reliance in daily life, resulting in a better quality of life. The device enables children with cerebral palsy to recover, live independently, and not be a burden to society. Furthermore, it serves as a medium to stimulate and enhance learning processes and develop physical, mental, intellectual, and social skills. This device utilizes technology involving cutting and assembling various wooden parts according to a specific pattern. The steering wheel for children with cerebral palsy has a wooden frame structure, attached to a main base. Above this is a seat for the child to sit on while using the device. At the front is a lever attachment, resembling a wooden chair. During use, the child can move a lever or handle to activate the digging mechanism, causing the lever and the digging arm to move or scoop objects.

The front chair legs of the device (12) are made of two pieces of wood, while the back chair legs of the device (13) are made of two pieces of wood that are longer than the legs. The front seat (12) and backrest (14) are made of six pieces of plywood, attached in a row to the top ends of the rear seat legs (13), spaced evenly, with the topmost piece attached slightly to the rear of the device. Below the backrest (14) is the seat (15), made of plywood, the length of which is equal to the width of the main frame base (2). The front of the seat has a front edge (16) made of plywood to support the child's legs, and the sides of the seat have side edges (17) made of plywood. The lever assembly (4) is located in front of the seat (3), with four lever assembly legs (18) attached to the main frame base (2), made of wood. Above the lever assembly legs (18) is a shelf (19) made of plywood, and on the back legs of the lever assembly legs (13), both left and right, There will be a lever handle (5) attached with nuts, made of two pieces of square-shaped wooden cross-section which the child can move forward and backward. The top ends are rounded and beveled. At one-quarter of the top of the lever handle (5), there is another piece of wood attached between the two pieces of wood, which is the handle (6) for the child to hold and control while using the equipment. The child can move forward and backward along with the lever handle (5) to control the digging assembly (7) to move. The digging assembly (7) is located in front of the lever attachment assembly (4). It consists of the digging body (9) made of a trapezoidal plywood sheet. Inside the digging body there is a digging body attachment assembly (20) made of plywood sheet for attaching nuts to the inner legs of the digging body (21) which will attach to the lever attachment assembly (4) on the left and right sides. Made of two pieces of wood and has an outer digging arm (22) attached to the outside of the main frame base (2), made of two pieces of wood and has a lever arm (8) attached between the digging arm (9) and the lever arm (5) to act as a mechanism for the digging assembly (7) to move forward and backward. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 1 of 1 page Claims 1. The remote control training vehicle for children with cerebral palsy consists of a main frame base (2), followed by a seat (3) for the child with cerebral palsy to sit on while using the equipment. In front is a lever arm attachment (4) which looks like a wooden chair, and while the child with cerebral palsy is using the equipment, he can move the lever arm (5) or the handle (6) to make the digging assembly (7) work, with the lever arm attachment (8) and the digging assembly (9) working to move or scoop things. It has a specific characteristic: the main frame base (2) is made of two pieces of long wood (10), approximately 60 centimeters long, which determines the length of the base. There is one piece of wood with a width (11) about 30 centimeters long from the end of the wood. The long side (10) is attached at a position about 5 centimeters in. The seat (3) is located next to the main frame base (2) and consists of four chair legs. The front seat legs (12) are two pieces of wood about 25 centimeters long.

There is a backrest (14) made of plywood sheets about 30 centimeters long and about 5 centimeters wide, six pieces attached to the top ends of the back seat legs (13) about 1 centimeter apart, with the topmost piece attached slightly behind the device. Below the backrest (14) is a seat (15) made of plywood sheets about 25 centimeters wide and about 30 centimeters long, which is the same length as the width. The main frame base (2) has a front edge (16) made of plywood, approximately 30 centimeters long and approximately 10 centimeters wide, for supporting the child's legs. The sides of the seat have side edges (17) made of plywood, approximately 25 centimeters long and approximately 5 centimeters wide. The lever assembly (4) is located at the front of the seat (3), shaped like a chair, with four legs of the lever assembly (18) attached to the main frame base (2), made of wood approximately 25 centimeters long.
