Hi! This is my concept for Team7’s design brief.

Back ground: Older people in Russia have trouble in walk around. They need new equipment to fulfill their needs, to up grade the walking equipment, to ease their pain while they are stroll. Also, in Russia, it is very sllipery in winter, so we need more special/more antiskid materials for the stick.

Design concept: I think of a special stick that looks normal–just like other walking sticks, but it has so many different things in it.

I make it can easily change the antiskid materials at the bottom of the stick( because it not always ice on the ground, sometimes people just need the normal antiskid function, so i want it can change the “antiskid levels” whenever you want.)

What’s more, i made it can fit any different slope angle on the ground so that when older people walk the slope it won’t bother them anymore.

The main part of the stick is retractable. So we dont need to worried about the height problem, or bought the wrong height of stick. It can always fill your need.

I want this stick use the light and soft plastic materials so the old people can easily carry them around, but also not to break down easily.

This is a improved new walking stick for older people.

I’ll be very happy to hear your opinions!
