Abstract
Nowadays, the number of people who do not move actively or are treated for rehabilitation is increasing because of the disorder or the paralysis of their own lower body by the industrial disaster. In this study, the walker for the people whose bodies are not convenient or the old is investigated. The walkers due to the height of walker are designed and the structural simulation analysis is carried out. The study models of walker are modelled with CATIA program and analyzed with ANSYS program. As the analysis result, the models of 1, 2 and 3 have the maximum stresses extremely below the yield stress of this model and the elastic deformations at these models occurs. Among these models, As the maximum deformation of model 3 has the least value among these models, models 3 is thought to have the best durability. The safety of walker model can be estimated by the basis of the result of this study. The damage can be prevented and the durability is examined by applying this result into the design of walker. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at design and show the esthetic sense.
