Adaptive Golf Prosthetic

The challenge

There are very limited adaptive devices available for upper limb amputees who play golf and currently no devices exist for one-armed golfers who still have both arms, but one is non-functional such as with Sean.

Who it helps

One-armed golfers

How it works

The prosthetic is designed to perform the functionality of the missing arm during a golf swing by providing stability to assist the functional arm.

This solution is a lightweight 3D printed prosthetic arm that attaches to the user through a shoulder harness and then directly attaches to the golf club.

Tools needed

PC or MAC I7 +
