Ninth-grader Andrian Gordiychuk created a prototype of a leg rehabilitation simulator out of Lego. The boy then plans to print it on a 3D printer.
Andriy lives in the village of Klevan, Rivne region. His house is located near a hospital for war veterans, which motivated the guy to create a simulator for rehabilitation, writes "Suspilne".
For his invention, he used basic Lego parts, three server motors: two large and one small, and a LegoHub controller, through which control is performed.
The prototype of the exercise machine is designed to restore muscle strength in the legs, mobility of the knee joint and foot. The schoolboy spent 2 months creating it.
"If we talk about its advantages, first of all, it is low-budget, easy to use - it does not require special personnel. Such simulators - orthoses, are not produced in Ukraine. This prototype will cost, approximately, from 1,500 to 4,000 UAH," noted the lyceum's deputy director for scientific work, Vitaliy Perekhodko.
The next step after creating the mockup is a 3D model of the orthosis after purchasing more powerful equipment. Next, they plan to contact a war veterans hospital to test it.
