Guitar Pick End Unit - TOM Arm Prosthesis
About this project
This is a 3D-printed guitar pick holder attachment that connects to the TOM Parametric Arm Prosthesis enabling an amputee to pluck strings on a guitar.
The challenge
To play a guitar independently, players need to press selected strings against frets while simultaneously plucking the strings at the other end. For someone with only one hand, this poses a challenge!
The Guitar Pick End Unit is a 3D-printed attachment to the TOM Parametric Arm Prosthesis that enables the use of one or two guitar picks by an amputated arm.
Who it helps
This project was designed and developed with Moshe Levi, a below-the-elbow amputee who hoped to play guitar.
