Abstract

Page 1 of 1. Summary of the Invention: The invention of a remote-controlled car for children with cerebral palsy aims to aid in physical rehabilitation related to sitting and balance. It trains children to sit in an upright position, with the torso at approximately a 90-degree angle to the front of the thighs, the angle between the knees and ankles at approximately a 90-degree angle. Sitting in this relaxed posture, without tension in the torso, knees, and ankles, is encouraged. Turning the steering wheel left and right can also help rehabilitate the arm joints. A device is installed to assist in pushing and extending the feet at the ankles. With continued practice and development, this will help children with cerebral palsy use their weakened limbs, exercise their wrists, reduce muscle tension and contractures in the arms, legs, and knees, and loosen tendons. This leads to improved development and increased self-reliance in daily life, resulting in a better quality of life. The invention 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 through the remote-controlled car for children with cerebral palsy. This device utilizes cutting and assembly technology, combining various wooden parts according to a specific pattern. The remote-controlled car for children with cerebral palsy has a wooden frame constructed from interconnected pieces of wood. The main base is made from two long pieces of wood and two wide pieces. The front of the device features a curved wooden panel for the steering wheel, and above the main base is a seat. Further forward are the foot pedals to support the weight of the child's left and right feet while using the device.

Claims (1)

Revised 16/10/2018, Page 1 of 1 page. Claims 1. Remote control car for children with cerebral palsy consists of a main frame base (2) made from two pieces of long wood (3) and two pieces of short wood (4). The front of the device has a curved wooden plate (5) for inserting the steering wheel (6), and above the main frame base (2) there is a seat (7), which is further forward is the foot pedal assembly (8) to support the weight of both the left and right feet of the child with cerebral palsy while using the device. Its specific characteristics are: the main frame base (2) is made of two pieces of long wood (3) and two pieces of short wood (4), and then all the wood is assembled together in the shape of a rectangle. In the center of the wood that is the width of the main frame base (2), the front part of the device has a slot (9) for inserting the steering wheel (6), and a curved wooden plate (5) covers the central wood slot for securing the end of the steering wheel (6). The steering wheel (6) is attached to the center of the main frame base (2), with a wooden steering wheel plate (10) in the shape of a circle in the center, with the inner part of the wood carved out into four triangles, leaving the center in the shape of a plus sign (+). The steering wheel stem (11) is made of cylindrical wood and mounted at a 45 degree angle. The seat (7) is on top of the main frame base (2), with a backrest (12) and a seat (13) made of cylindrical cross-section pieces of wood attached together. There are armrests (14) attached to the seat (7) on both sides, with plywood panels covering the sides (15) attached to the seat (13) on both sides. On the left side of the seat (7), attached to the armrest (14), there is a compartment for a water bottle (16), which is a rectangular wooden box. The top has two circular holes for fitting bottles. The foot pedal assembly (8) is located in front of the seat (7), with a foot pedal base (17) made of three rectangular pieces of wood attached together. A plywood footrest (18) is placed on top. The sides are attached with a foot pedal frame (19) with three rectangular pieces of wood attached to the left and right sides of the front, which determines the height of the foot pedal base (17), and another piece of wood is attached to the top, which has holes for threading elastic (20) on both the left and right corners. The two elastic (20) pieces meet at the same point (21) in the middle of the front of the foot pedal base (17), and in the middle of the foot pedal base (17) there is a footrest (22) made of plywood for placing both the left and right feet. The child with cerebral palsy can exert force to move the footrest (22) up and down using the action of the elastic (20). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 1 of 1 page Claim 1. The remote control car for children with cerebral palsy consists of a main frame base (2) made from two pieces of long wood (3) and two pieces of short wood (4). The front of the device has a curved wooden plate (5) for inserting the steering wheel (6), and next to the main frame base (2) there is a seat (7), which is further forward is the foot pedal assembly (8) to support the weight of both the left and right feet of the child with cerebral palsy while using the device. It has a specific design: the main frame base (2) is made of two pieces of long wood (3) about 80 centimeters long and two pieces of short wood (4) about 30 centimeters long. Then all the wood is assembled together in the shape of a rectangle. In the center of the wood that is the width of the main frame base (2), the front part of the device has a slot (9) for inserting the steering wheel (6), and a curved wooden plate (5) covers the slot in the center of the wood to hold the end of the steering wheel (6). The steering wheel (6) is attached to the center of the main frame base (2), with a wooden steering wheel plate (10) in the shape of a circle in the center, with the inner part of the wood carved out into four triangles, leaving the center in the shape of a plus sign “+”. The steering wheel stem (11) is made of cylindrical wood and is installed at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. The seat (7) is on top of the main frame base (2), with a backrest (12) and a seat (13) made of cylindrical cross-sections of wood attached together. There are armrests (14) attached to the seat (7) on both sides, with wooden boards covering the sides (15) attached to the seat (13) on both sides. On the left side of the seat (7), attached to the armrest (14), there is a compartment for a water bottle (16), which is a rectangular wooden box. The top has two circular holes with a diameter of approximately 8 centimeters. The foot pedal set (8) is located in front of the seat (7), with a base for the foot pedal set (17) of the same width as 1/3 of the length of the main frame base (2) and is equal in length to the width of the main frame base (2), which is made of approximately 3 rectangular pieces of wood attached together, with a wooden footrest (18) placed on top. The sides are attached with a pedal assembly frame (19) with 3 rectangular pieces of wood attached on both the left and right sides at the front, which determines the height of the pedal assembly base (17), and another piece of wood is attached on top, which has holes for threading elastic bands (20) on both the left and right corners. The two elastic bands (20) meet at the same point (21) at the center of the front of the pedal assembly base (17), and in the center of the pedal assembly base (17) there is a footrest (22) made of plywood for placing the left and right feet. The cerebral palsy child can exert force to move the footrest (22) up and down using the action of the elastic bands (20).
