ENME - F2 - Raising Canes

Elderly Stair Climbing Assistive Device

Project Description:

We created a cane that has an attachment to the stairs railing. This attachment allows for the user to get stability when climbing the stairs. The attachment attaches to a bar, which the user can use to pull themselves up the stairs.  When a moment is places on the bar, it lock up, but when it is pushed straight it will roll along the railing.
