Abstract
Kneeva Scooter is a thoughtfully designed mobility solution created to assist elderly individuals who experience knee pain and have difficulty walking long distances. Unlike many existing devices that can be uncomfortable or hard to use, especially for those with joint issues, the Kneeva Scooter focuses on ease of use, comfort and safety. It features a cushioned seat with a backrest and armrests for added support, along with a low platform that makes mounting and dismounting easier without putting strain on the knees. Its three-wheel design ensures stability and smooth maneuverability, even in confined spaces. Made from lightweight yet durable materials, the scooter is easy to transport and built to withstand daily use. Simple, user-friendly controls allow seniors to operate it effortlessly, making it a practical and empowering option for everyday mobility. The compact frame also allows for easy storage and navigation in tight indoor environments such as hallways or small apartments. Additionally, the design process was based on research into real user needs, ensuring that every feature provides practical value. From the choice of materials to the shape of the handles, every element aims to reduce physical effort while promoting comfort and balance. Overall, the Kneeva Scooter helps restore independence and confidence by enabling users to move around more comfortably and freely. It serves as a supportive and inclusive mobility aid that enhances the everyday lives of elderly individuals, especially those coping with chronic knee pain.
