Dynamic Orthostatic Chair – A new locomotion method for disabled

However, his father wanted to walk again and for this he knew that he needed to be able to stand up. At the time, helped by his three brothers, who were locksmiths, a structure with pulleys was improvised in the way that Leandro could stay a few moments out of the chair. Afterwards, he did intensive physiotherapy sessions and a gradual recovery of movement was achieved, which now allows Leandro to travel around the city with the help of a walker. For this reason, Walef went to Biomedical engineering and started to develop the chair’s project at 2012. Walef continued to work on the project to improve it and in 2014 the project won several prizes. At this moment, with the touch of a button, the machine goes forward, backward, sideways, and allows an upright position to who uses the chair. Thus, the user, to be standing, can perform usual activities, within the limits imposed by disability.
