About Wobbleshroom Qalabka Dhaqaajinta Canqowga
Wobbleshroom waa qalab tababar dheellitin ah oo loogu talagalay in lagu xoojiyo canqowyada oo lagu hor tago dhaawacyada. Qaabkiisu wuxuu ka soo hadhay looxa dhaqdhaqaaqa (wobble board) wuxuuna u eg yahay boron. Sida dul saarid loox sare ayaa dhaqaajisa qalabka, kaas oo ciyaara heeso muusig ah oo dhaqdhaqaajiya dhinacyada la doorto si loo hagaajiyo isticmaalaha inuu u leexdo dhanka saas ah. Hal xilli wuxuu socdaa saddex daqiiqo. Dusha sare waxaa laga sameeyay boodhka polyurethane oo jilicsan si loo helo qabsasho iyo ilaalin, jirkuna waxaa laga sameeyay acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. Qalabku wuxuu le'eg yahay 55 santimitir bay 38 santimitir, culayskiisuna waa 5 kiiloogaraam.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Wobbleshroom is a prehabilitative device designed to prevent future ankle injuries by bringing Neuromuscular Training and Whole Body Vibration into our everyday life. The device utilizes sound and vibration to guide the user in which direction to move – always ensuring a safe, fun, and effective exercise routine that does not feel burdensome.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 55cm x 38cm, 5kg

- Healthcare, Recreation, Gamification, Exercise, Fun
- Production Technology
- To improve grips to prevent a user from falling off while being on top of the device, the top of the Wobbleshroom is designed with soft PU foam. It is soft, cushiony, and provides enough rigidity, serving as a perfect material to address my need. The rest of the body is mostly designed with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene.
- Design Challenge
- Challenge was to lower the bar of rehabilitative exercise so that it is readily accessible for all users in a safe, joyful way, ultimately with a goal of the product blending into the user's daily life without feeling like a chore. To make the breakthrough, I have interviewed the users and the experts in the field - including doctors from John Hopkins University, based on data collected on various functional mockups.
- Research
- The research initially began with ankle injuries. Though some may view them as minor incidents, they are highly likely to develop into permanently unstable ankles if improperly treated. After finding out that the primary way to prevent ankle injuries is by improving peroneal muscles, I set out ways to discover possible fitting exercise routines used by professional athletes. It was there that I came across neuromuscular training and whole-body vibration. Prior is an exercise often used by athletes, and later is a technique developed by NASA for astronauts to stimulate leg muscles and improve balance.
- Inspiration
- The main inspiration came from the wobble board, a widely used tool to improve one's core strength during rehabilitative exercise.
Additional inspiration came from interviews with experts - including a doctor at Johns Hopkins University. - Project Duration
- The project finished December of 2021 in California.
- Operation Flow
- The simple act of stepping on the Wobbleshroom activates the device. It would start to play music notes and vibrate specific corners of the upper plate (mushroom hat), guiding users to tilt their bodies accordingly. A single set completes after 3 minutes, which is just the safe amount of exercise one is expected to do a day.
