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) January 25 to January 31, 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 … Summary of Accomplishments - Assigned team roles - Developed preliminary schedule - Met with client and discussed the project specifications. This Week’s Goals - Continue to research the larynx and how it can be modeled - Develop PDS - Begin brainstorming - Start project website Project Difficulties …Activities Kevin Hanson 1.25. 2007 Team Meeting 1.00 hr 1.30. 2007 Met with client 1.50 hr ~~~~~~~ Researched Larynx 2.00 hr Nick Ladwig 1.25. 2007 Team Meeting 1.00 hr 1.30. 2007 Met with client 1.50 hr ~~~~~~~ Researched Larynx 2.00 hr Jonathan Meyer 1.25. 2007 Team Meeting 1.00 hr 1.30.2007 Met with client 1.50 hr 1.30.2007 Wrote Weekly Report 2.00 hr 1.30.2007 Developed schedule 2.00 hr ~~~~~~~ Researched Larynx 2.00 hr Ken Roggow 1.30. 2007 Met with client 1.50 hr ~~~~~~~ Researched Larynx 2.00 hrProject Schedule Tasks Jan.
