![Adaptive Costume for Walker [K-Pop Style] - open-source assistive technology prototype by the TOM Israel community community](https://tom-prod-new.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot%202026-03-09%20at%209.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.1773063881902.png)
About this project
The K-Pop Wheelchair Costume is a modular costume accessory system designed for simple installation on manual wheelchairs.
It includes decorative add-ons and attachments for the wheelchair itself and does not include a wearable body costume.
Instead, it is created to complement an existing or separately purchased outfit - transforming the wheelchair into a cohesive, visually striking, and integral part of the overall costume story.
The challenge
This costume celebrates the walker as a powerful and expressive part of the child’s identity and stage presence. It transforms the walker into a bold, central design element that enhances the overall look and amplifies confidence.
Designed to be durable and reusable, it supports self-expression during holidays, school events, performances, or everyday imaginative play - turning the walker into a dynamic feature that elevates the entire costume experience.
Who it helps
The K-pop costume for Walker is designed for Walkers users, in the ages 6–16 who want to celebrate, perform, and express themselves through costume and creativity.
How it works
The costume consists of a modular system of components that are easily assembled onto a walker.
Elements attach to the backrest area, handle zones, and include decorative wheel covers.
The system does not rigidly “wrap” or enclose the walker, nor is it built for a single specific model. Instead, it is designed with flexible attachment methods to fit a wide range of powered wheelchairs safely and comfortably.
