Challenge Ichimiya

Challenge Ichimiya - open-source assistive technology challenge by the Tokyo community

The challenge

Ichimiya is looking for a device that would cover the weakness of the grip strength.

Who it helps

Tsuyoshi Ichimiya is a wheelchair tennis player (quard class) with cerebral palsy. At the age of 54, cervical myelopathy caused further muscle weakness, making it difficult to hold the joystick of the wheelchair controller and to hold an umbrella. (But he continues to play wheelchair tennis.)
