Quad Roller

Quad Roller

Essentially this product is a spinoff of the traditional foam roller. Foam rollers are important for Flexibility training as they provide a unique contribution to muscular flexibility. When rolling the quad muscles, the position of the lumber spine in concavity can be compromising – especially to those with lower back pain. This product is designed to allow people to perform foam rolling or self-myofascial technique to their quads without compromising their lower back. To do so, there are a few components to this product. The foam roller with an axel running through it which is attached to the disks. The disks are attached to elastic bands which in turn are connected to the base. The base goes under the hamstring (between the leg and the chair), and the elastic pulls the foam roller and the base closer to each other providing enough pressure to benefit from the foam roller.

Assignment 2

When I presented my idea to my dad (who’s problem I attempted to solve), I discovered that he did not actually experience the problem. I realized that I had observed the problem because it was something that bothered me, not something that bothered him. It can be very easy to project a problem instead of actually observing a valid problem.

As a child I would spend hours on end playing with Legos. I would imitate designs that I had seen in the real world. It was my way of expressing myself.

Innovation

The article titled “What is innovation? 15 experts share their innovation definition” exposes the idea that the definition of the word “innovation” is quite arbitrary. After reading through all 15 definitions, I was drawn most towards the Definition of Kevin McFarthing. According to McFarthing, innovation is “introduction of new products and services that add value to the organization”. I like this definition mostly because it aligns with the way that I have always understood the word innovation. Innovation is basically just adding in new ways to add value.
