Operation Sit Down
About this project
Jack’s team adapted his crutches and developed an attachment by using a fabric camping chair in order to create a collapsible seat for him. The seat is part of his crutches and is easily assembled.
The challenge
Jack finds walking okay but gets very tired when having to stand in one spot. This makes many outings very difficult as he cannot sit down. Often seats are hard to find or not in very convenient locations. Jack is looking to be able to use his crutches as a seat.
Who it helps
Jack has cerebral palsy which mainly affects his legs, causing him to walk with Canadian crutches.
