Adaptive Crawling Device
The challenge
This project is needed because the NK is missing pediatric milestones due to not being able to weight-bear or crawl on her left arm.
Who it helps
Samara loves butterflies and the color purple.
How it works
This solution will address the challenge by facilitating crawling and upper-body stability and coordination.
The solution we are offering is an adaptive device that can withstand her weight using a 3D printed rocker and socket at the bottom.
Tools needed
Fusion 360
Measurement tool
scissors
