Physical 3D model of the larynx with moving parts Client: Sherri K. Zelazny Team Members: Kevin Hanson (BSAC) Nick Ladwig (Communicator) Jonathan Meyer (Leader) Ken Roggow (BWIG) April 18 to April 24, 2008 Problem Statement The goal of this project is to develop a physical 3D laryngeal model, with moving laryngeal cartilage, bones, membranes and muscle, to demonstrate nerve/muscle action and interaction in the larynx for voice, airway and swallowing. The model is to be used as a clinical tool for patient education for improved understanding of the laryngeal mechanism; and to plan treatment based on diagnosis of voice, airway and/or swallowing disorder. Last Week’s Goals • Finalize cartilage structure • Attach muscles and motors • Build frame Summary of Accomplishments • Cast model • Created muscles • Built circuits and timers • Created framework and attached individual parts to model This Week’s Goals • Finish model • Run tests • Formulate and administer “realism quiz” • Work on final presentation Project DifficultiesActivities Kevin Hanson 4/18/08 Team Meeting 1.50 hr 4/23/08 Team Meeting (Shop) 1.75 hr 4/23/08 Team Meeting 2.50 hr Nick Ladwig 4/18/08 Team Meeting 1.50 hr 4/04/08 Finishing molds 1.50 hr 4/24/08 Team Meeting (Shop) 1.50 hr 4/23/08 Team Meeting 2.50 hr ---------- Casting 4.50 hr ---------- Progress Report 0.50 hr Jonathan Meyer 4/19/08 Building circuit 7.00 hr 4/21/08 Testing/improving circuit 3.00 hr 4/23/08 Testing circuit 1.00 hr 4/23/08 Team Meeting 2.50 hr 4/24/08 Team meeting (shop) 3.00 hr 4/18/08 Team Meeting 1.50 hr Ken Roggow 4/18/08 Team Meeting 1.50 hr 4/23/08 Team Meeting 2.00 hr 4/23/08 Constructing base 3.50 hr ----------- Website 0.50 hrProject Schedule Tasks Jan.
