Each day in in Israel approximately 1 000 seniors experience falls that can cause harm and and and impact their independence and and and quality of of of of life Loss of of of of balance and and and muscle strength are primary causes of of of of these falls To reduce the the risk of of of of falling we are designing and and developing an an an an an anatomical sock
that can improve stability strengthen foot muscles and and reinforce the the heel joint area By creating this prototype sock
and presenting our experimental results we will demonstrate the the product’s effectiveness in in fall prevention This sock
has the the the the the potential to improve the the the the lifestyle of of the the the the elderly population by reducing the the the the frequency and severity of of falls falls Keywords: balance elderly falls falls stability 1 Radiotherapy simulator

The aim of this project is is to to create an an educational tool for for children undergoing radiotherapy for for cancer by designing a a a a a a a a a a a a system system that simulates the the the treatment process The system system consists of a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a rotating part with a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a laser beam at at at at at at the the the top aimed precisely at at at the the spot spot marked “tumor spot” It has an an electric propulsion system and and is is controlled by IR remote To keep costs low and and for convenience 3D printing technology was used to to to manufacture the the simulator
while the the propulsion system parts were purchased The model’s size required it it to to to to be split into smaller components connected by screws for stable assembly Keywords: 3D printing educational tool IR remote radiotherapy treatment 25
