Water Ski Sleeve for Trans-humeral Amputee

The challenge

Lance needs a better way to hold the lead to water ski. He currently just holds the handle between his arm and chest, but this method is not working.

Who it helps

Any trans-humeral amputee who likes to water ski

How it works

This solution helps Lance by providing a secure grip on the water ski handle with a custom Velcro sleeve. The contoured design ensures comfort, while adjustable straps and quick-release enhance safety.

We offer a custom Velcro sleeve for Lance to improve his grip on the water ski handle. It features a contoured fit, adjustable straps, an integrated handle holder, and a quick-release mechanism for safety.
