How it works

This solution achieve the task because after some trials our flexible system allow Pierre to move in a better way, feeling safe, stable and able to control all the lower part of the body that is paralysed.

Our solution is based on the concept to improve the stability of Pierre in his seat in a dynamic way. Pierre need to control the part paralysed moving the top part of the body. Thank to a flexible belt he gained in safety and in power of the movement.
