La Canne de 7 Lieux / The Cane of Seven Leagues
The challenge
This project is needed because most walkers are designed for shorter people, which can be uncomfortable for taller people to use. The tall walkers available on the market are uncomfortable and difficult to store in the back of a wheelchair.
Who it helps
Tall individuals who need to use a cane/walker along with a manual wheelchair
How it works
This solution provides a good quality cane for tall people. The solution also allows the cane to be retracted and fixed behind the wheelchair without hindering movement of the wheels and poking the back of the user.
We offering an adapted system of a cane that both extends to an appropriate height and compacts to fit behind a wheelchair. It also has an ergonomic, foam-padded handle to provide greater comfortability.
Tools needed
Protective glasses
Electric Srewdriver
FDM Printer
