Summary: | The most frequently affected by Osteoarthritis (OA) is the knee joint (genu osteoarthritis). Therapeutic exercises for sufferers of knee OA are divided into 6 (six) programs, including strengthening to increase the strength of muscle contraction. The design to develop is based on the existing tools and input from users so that it is easily accessed widely for OA sufferers or doctors or therapists. The best choices for knee OA therapy are aerobics and strengthening of the thigh muscles by training the quadriceps muscles. There are several methods used to train quadriceps muscles, including straightening the legs when sitting and bending the legs while lying on his stomach. Meanwhile, aerobics training requires technology in the form of a static bicycle. This study was conducted based on the product development process, it has several stages that start with making a mission statement. The stages are: identify customer’s needs, establish target specifications, generate product concepts, select product concept(s), test product concept(s), and the last is set the final specifications. This stage of the study resulted in 3 alternative designs and 1 design selective, that have been synthesized from the expectation and desires of the stakeholders and will continue with the design details until the prototype is presented. |
