About this project
Plane Seat Assistance is an in-flight supportive vest, neck brace, and leg support for a child with CP. The challenge was submitted by Beit Issie Shapira, a local rehabilitation hospital.
The challenge
Sitting on an airplane seat can be extremely challenging for children or adults that cannot hold up their bodies independently. The team is designing a vest with metal support in it to give extra support on all sides. It also includes neck support to hold up the user’s head.
Who it helps
The Need Knower for this challenge is Guy who is 11 years old and has CP - his father is part of the TOM Community and felt this was a worthwhile challenge to try to find a solution.
