Prosthetic for various home uses

The challenge

David is a very independent person who is used to doing his chores himself. Although he has custom-made prosthetic for cycling and rowing, his personal prosthetic is not suitable for strenuous uses such as gardening and the use of tools. David is seeking a solution that will enable him to adjust the prosthetic for various home uses that require strength and durability over time.

Who it helps

David served in the French army special forces and was wounded in South Lebanon, where he lost his right hand and left eye. He is the father of two girls, and competes in extreme sports competitions all over the world.
