Prosthetic Fingers
Creating a custom prothetic finger for a client who has missing fingers
The Need
The vast majority of commercially available bicycles are not designed to accommodate a wide variety of body types. Available models are generally uncomfortable, incapable of supporting large frames, and are difficult to balance on uneven terrains. Our client was in need of a easy ride bike capable of supporting up to 300 pounds, altered with comfortable sizing, large and balanced wheels, and storage components that would allow him to get around campus.
The Solution
Our product was highly modified bike catered to the client's needs. The pedals and chains were removed, the bike seat was replaced by one with a larger base, and larger adult training wheels were added. These modifications made the bike more comfortable and balanced for the client, allowing him to traverse uneven terrains around Northeastern's campus. The bike was also fitted with additional features such as a basket and cane holder for convenience, and was based off a foldable model if possible to make it portable and lightweight.
