The Rollz Motion, a hybrid mobility aid that can transition from a walker to a wheelchair, which can also be equipped with electric drive. The design is providing support and flexibility for patients who experience a decline in mobility over time.
The request
The collaboration with Bolster Softgoods started with the request for a heated seat for the walker. We designed and prototyped a modular and interchangeable seat to replace temporally the standard seat of the wheelchair during winter month. We implemented the sit and heat infrared heating pad system with PCB and battery into the seat design. The prototype we created was the innovative showpiece at the Rollz exhibition booth at REHACARE 2022.
Because of this initial request we also did a redesign of the standard back seat. The separation of the back plate and pad allows for more customization options for dealers and to offer different colors and fabric choices to the 23 countries Rollz distributes to worldwide.
The redesign
The use of mixed fabric for the textile set adds visual depth to the design, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the mobility aid. The armrests are designed for comfort using EVA foam. The use of two layers of textile pressed into shape with thermoforming technique helps create a contoured and ergonomic design. The mobility aid features a two-part seat constructed with better quality foam. This design choice aims to provide increased seating comfort for users, which is essential for longer periods of use.
