- Maintaining the balance of the body to prevent falls and injury can be done by doing one of the physical activities to train arm muscle strength. Bilateral movement exercise will get better results comparing to unilateral movement in increasing muscle strength. This research used Design Thinking, which consisted of empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. On the empathize stage, the customer needs were identified by doing the interview and observation. On the define and ideate stage, Quality Function Deployment was used to deploy the customer needs into technical requirements in the Product Planning Matrix and critical part requirements in Part Planning Matrix to make the detailed design. The prototype stage was realized by 3D Modelling. In Part Planning Matrix, there were top 2 contribution values: notice and Virtual Reality (VR). This research had an outcome of a device design that had the aim to increase the motoric function of the non�dominant hand, combined with VR to make it fun while doing the exercise. Future research might include vibration alert in doing the exercise, water flow to burden the rower, to make the exercise more real, continue the QFD with Process Planning Matrix and Production Planning Matrix.
