AddiAssist - The Revolutionary Walker
AddiAssist is a wearable mobility device that allows users to remain non-weight bearing while keeping their hands entirely free.Engineered using the 3D printing, it functions as a temporary "peg-leg" that transfers the user’s weight from the injured foot/ankle directly to the upper leg and thigh
Key Features
1. True Independence (Hands-Free Mobility)
Traditional crutches occupy both hands, making simple tasks like carrying a cup of coffee, using a mobile phone, or opening a door nearly impossible.
The AddiAssist Advantage: Users regain the ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) independently, significantly improving mental well-being during recovery.
2. Clinical Superiority: Preventing Muscle Atrophy
One of the biggest challenges with "resting" an injury is the rapid loss of muscle mass in the thigh and hip.
The AddiAssist Advantage: Because the device requires the user to walk with a near-natural gait, it keeps the quadriceps and gluteal muscles engaged. Studies show this leads to faster rehabilitation times and improved blood circulation, which accelerates bone and tissue healing.
3. Ergonomic Comfort (No "Crutch Paralysis")
Traditional crutches often cause secondary injuries like axillary nerve damage (crutch palsy) and wrist strain/carpal tunnel.
The AddiAssist Advantage: Weight is distributed across the shin and thigh platform. By eliminating underarm pressure, AddiAssist removes the risk of nerve compression and upper-body fatigue.
4. 3D-Printed Customization
While mass-produced hands-free crutches are "one-size-fits-all," AddiAssist leverages Addiwise’s 3D printing ecosystem.
Personalized Fit: The thigh cuffs and shin platforms can be 3D-scanned and custom-printed to match the patient’s specific anatomy, preventing the pressure sores common with generic plastic molds.
Material Optimization: Uses biocompatible, flexible TPU for contact points and rigid PA (Nylon) for the structural frame, ensuring a lightweight yet industrial-strength build.
