Leg Prothesis for Swimming
About this project
Leg Prothesis for Swimming with a quick adapter
The challenge
He likes to swim, this activity is also from a great importance for his physical condition so he can maintain the whole movement of his part of the leg that is left after amputation. His everyday prosthesis is to heavy for swimming and it reacts with salty waters so he can't use it to swim in a sea. His orthopedic foot is to narrow for the sandy beach getting him out of balance. Dusko needs prosthesis that he can use to move over the sand, reach pool side and swim.
Who it helps
Dusko is a vibrant forward going person. He enjoys life and loves to be active. Unfortunately, Dusko lost his left leg in a motorcycle accidence leaving him to find a new way to deal with life.
