footrest

footrest - open-source assistive technology concept by the Barcelona community

The challenge

because people especially people who are on a wheelchairs need a footrest since they need a place to put there feet that will not break.

Who it helps

His name is Robert De Miguel and his footrest kept breaking.

How it works

It will make the daily life of Robert allot easier because he will not be worried about his footrest breaking.
