Critical Reflection

Module Reflection This module has been a truly eye-opening and enriching journey, helping me grow in both critical thinking and technical communication skills. Through the various case studies and discussions, I’ve learned to approach complex problems by breaking them into smaller, more manageable parts. One of the key takeaways for me was understanding how to evaluate trade-offs between performance, cost, and feasibility. This was particularly useful as it helped me think more practically about the solutions I proposed, making me more confident in tackling real-world challenges in the future. Another area where I saw a lot of improvement was in how I communicate technical ideas. The assignments and class discussions pushed me to explain difficult concepts in ways that could be understood by people without a technical background. I learned to focus on clarity without oversimplifying, which really boosted my confidence. The feedback I got from peers and instructors also played a big par...

Project Contributions

 I contributed the idea to make the cost of AlterG lower for the public. We decided to choose Jumill's idea on smart suspension system for bicycles.  To be precise about our product, I discussed with the group if we were using sensors or cameras for the smart suspension system. I contributed to the ideal section for our project. Researched on similar ideas out there. Found Fox's smart suspension system however they are target audience is for normal bicycles. Took the idea and implement it on to electronics bicycles. Contributed to the problem solution for the presentation and report. Contributed to evaluation/benefits for the technical report. Did APA citation for images and links. Helped Yu Yang with his stats for medical report.  Updated as of 25/11/2024.

Reader Response Draft 3

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill utilizes NASA-developed Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology, revolutionizing rehabilitation and athletic training by providing a low-impact environment that reduces the user's effective body weight (AlterG, n.d.). This treadmill comprises a standard running surface, an inflatable air chamber encasing the lower body with a specific pants that zips onto the encasing, and a control system that adjusts body weight support (NASA, 2009). A unique feature of this technology is the ability to precisely adjust body weight, enabling safe rehabilitation tailored to each user's needs (de Heer et al., 2020). The air chamber's adjustable pressure creates a weightless experience similar to conditions in space, and the treadmill’s control system offers real-time feedback to ensure efficient and effective training or rehabilitation sessions (AlterG, n.d.; de Heer et al., 2020; NASA, 2009). AlterG treadmill revolutionizes rehabilitation and therapies ...

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill utilizes NASA-developed Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology, revolutionizing rehabilitation and athletic training by providing a low-impact environment that reduces the user's effective body weight (AlterG, n.d.). This treadmill comprises a standard running surface, an inflatable air chamber encasing the lower body, and a control system that adjusts body weight support (NASA, 2009). A unique feature of this technology is the ability to precisely adjust body weight between 20% to 100%, enabling safe rehabilitation tailored to each user's needs (de Heer et al., 2020). The air chamber's adjustable pressure creates a weightless experience similar to conditions in space, and the treadmill’s control system offers real-time feedback to ensure efficient and effective training or rehabilitation sessions (AlterG, n.d.; de Heer et al., 2020; NASA, 2009). Moreover, AlterG treadmill revolutionizes rehabilitation through its DAP technology, which ...

Summary Draft 2 + Thesis

  The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill utilizes NASA-developed Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology to assist in rehabilitation and athletic training by reducing the user’s effective body weight, allowing for movement with less impact on the joints (AlterG, n.d). It comprises a treadmill surface, an inflatable air chamber that encases the lower body, and an advanced control system for adjusting body weight (NASA, 2009).A key feature is its precise body weight reduction capability, which ranges from 20% to 100%, creating a low-impact running surface that minimizes joint stress (de Heer, 2022). The air chamber generates an adjustable pressure environment, enabling users to experience various levels of weightlessness, while the treadmill surface and control system provides real-time feedback, facilitating effective training and rehabilitation (AlterG, n.d.;  de Heer, 2022 ;  NASA, 2009) . The Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology in the AlterG treadmill revolutionize...
