Development of Wireless Automated Thigh Support

Abstract

The importance of Development of Wireless Automated Thigh Support has been increase drastically due to fast increasing rate of user in using thigh support nowadays. The development of wireless automated thigh support for helping people who are in injured and can’t move. This is because there have problem with their hamstring. In human anatomy, a hamstring is one of the three posterior thigh muscles. The hamstring is the single large tendon found behind the knee or comparable area. The hamstrings cross and act upon two joints - the hip and the knee. Our project can give comforts to our customer, this is because our project offers dynamic support and compression to the quadriceps and hamstring muscle. The auto adjustable thigh and hamstring support can make user easy to use, this is because they auto compress and loose by using air and as the activator we using an air pump from blood pressure device. It also help in heat therapeutic to help keep the affected area warm. In order, this will give advantages to the user in doing a daily live without any trouble. In this study, the role of development of wireless automated thigh support has been investigated. Then, the project has been obtain by being combine the technology from blood pressure device and thigh support. We using the curve, air valve, air pump, and air tube. The curve is to convolution around thigh and the air will go in through the air tube. The movement of air is control by solenoid valve or air valve whether the air go in or out. Air pump is to push air move. We add an Arduino Uno and HC-06 Bluetooth. The Arduino Uno is to control the air pump and solenoid valve. Therefore, the Bluetooth is get input from user. Our reference is from our supervisor Sir Syazwan and we also refer from an internet. The data sheet from our supplier also importance to use it as a reference when we try to construct circuit.
