Sketch Model Findings

Commercial walker:

Full size: 23” x 20” x 30” -- Volume of 13,800 in^3 Folded size: 12” x 20” 30” -- Volume of 7,200 in^3

By folding, achieved 52% of the original volume

Our walker:

Full size: 28” x 24” x 36” -- Volume of 24,192 in^3 Collapsed size: 16” x 16” x 21” -- Volume of 5,376 in^3

By collapsing, achieved 22% of the original volume

Note: Dimensions excluding wheels

Next Steps

Ensure collapsing mechanism is user-friendly Scale down walker

aim for collapsed volume of 2,772 in^3 (“carry on” size)

Integrate seat and storage compartment
