Abstract

Assistive Technologies (AT) must be specified beyond their functionality goal and consider the factors in which they will be applied, specifically cost and access. The objective was to develop a unilateral crochet device through additive manufacturing. Considering the demands of a hospitalized patient, necessary measurement and positioning were identified, a prototype model was designed through CAD and later manufactured through a 3D printer. The device was successfully tested by two Occupational Therapy students with previous knowledge on bimanual crochet. The AT should go through patient testing in the future.
