Hey guys, I am looking to design a portable exercise kit for elderly people equipped for doing some very simple exercises. Something that is light and handles weights in grams instead of kilograms. To give a bit of context, my mother suffers from RA (Rheumatoid arthritis) and can hardly walk. I've been thinking of designing this kit for a long time, but I lack the knowledge to get it done. (gears, bars, types of strings to use, types of good exercises to consider etc.) I'd love to work with people who are willing to spend a bit of time. I have attached the initial draft of what I think might be a good design. As mentioned earlier, I know nothing about the terms used for the different types of stretches, so I've given it names, so kindly excuse the terminology. If you're interested, I can explain everything over a call.

few can be got in surgical stores my dad had shoulder pain and doctor had prescribed exercise with rope pulling left and right. we hanged that to curtain rod at home and dad was able to do finally got relieved from pain

@orange-action-12733 The available pieces of equipment have to be custom fit and when no one is available to help custom fit she loses the confidence to exercise. I am thinking of a one-stop solution to provide them with a tool kit that is easy to use and is portable. Something like • telescopic bars which can be carried around when they are traveling • With wheels so that they can exercise wherever they want

you can speak to surgical shop which sells them and get details according to customisation this is my understanding

Thank you Mahesh, I'll try that as well. I just spoke to a few engineering workshops in and around Bangalore. Hope to get some positive replies.

one my dad took is like that it has something like pulley in wells and he used to hang that and do the exercise visting a store may give you more ideas

Thank you @orange-action-12733 Will check it out.
