harness for pilates with one arm

harness for pilates with one arm - open-source assistive technology prototype by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

This project is needed because, during certain Pilates exercises, the user works with only one side of the body at a time. As a result, the pulling force is not symmetrical, which can lead to uneven movement and reduced exercise effectiveness.

Who it helps

people with one arm or one working arm that want to do pilates

How it works

The Pilates harness has a ring on each side around the arm area. These rings allow the rope being pulled by one arm to be attached to the opposite side, so that both sides of the harness are pulled forward at the same time. This creates balanced movement a
