PERANCANGAN MESIN REMAS (SQUEEZE MACHINE) UNTUK TERAPI AUTISME
ABSTRACT: The last two
decades, in the world of autism increased dramatically. In 1990 obtained 4 from
10000 births (1: 2500). In 2000 to 2008 be 1: 88, increased nearly 30 fold.
Deep pressure therapy is a method of providing the pressure and the amount of
time on the outside of the body most deeply and evenly. Deep pressure generated
by stress relieving device, such as squeeze machine. Squeeze machine can give
the effect of calmness to the people hypersensitive to sensory stimulation,
such as autism.
In Indonesia, squeeze machine is still rare because the price is quite
expensive. As needed, it should be designed at an affordable price without
compromising quality. Phase of the design process, namely: (1) project
definition, project planning, and preparation of technical specifications of
the product, (2) the design concept of the product, (3) designing embodiment
product, and (4) preparation of documents for the manufacture of products.
Squeeze machine model design concept originated from the use of the prone
position, deep pressure of a V shaped wall. Squeeze machine design usage
position supine position, deep pressure of the three arms, namely: (1) hand and
body, (2) the hip and thigh, and (3) the lower leg. For ages under 8 - 9 years,
deep pressure 30 - 40 psi within 15 - 45 minutes. At the end of the design
process gained some documents as the basis for the manufacture of prototypes,
namely: (1) layout drawing, (2) arrangement drawing (assembly), (3) detail
element drawing, and (4) the bill of materials.
