ParaStroll 2.0: No Hands needed

ParaStroll 2.0: No Hands needed - open-source assistive technology working model by the TOM International Community community

About this project

The device is a connector that belts around the user's waist and holds the stroller’s handle. It features a mechanism with two pistons that helps transfer the walking movement with crutches into a smooth, forward motion for the stroller.

The challenge

Using crutches limits the ability to push a stroller with both hands, making it challenging to walk and push a stroller simultaneously. Achieving independence in this aspect is crucial for these parents.

Who it helps

The product is designed for parents with partial paralysis in their legs who walk with crutches. These individuals strive for autonomy in their daily activities, especially as caregivers.

How it works

The 'ParaStroll' enables individuals using crutches to walk freely without needing to push the stroller with their hands.
