Arm extension

Arm extension - open-source assistive technology challenge by the Ingolstadt community

The challenge

Lately she has pain in her right shoulder, which prevents her from raising her arm. Tasks as common as combing her hair has become very complicated. We would like to help her by designing an utensil with which she can comb her hair.

Who it helps

Oma Christine is 86 years old and likes to take care about her great-grandchildren. She loves baking for her family, sewing clothes for her great grandchildren and always has a smile for everyone.
