Weightlifting
About this project
Dror loves sports and wants to weightlift professionally and correctly, but due to his injury, the sport puts strain on his back and right leg, which increases the risk of long-term damage. Dror is looking for a solution that will replace his regular walking brace, support his leg, and allow him to lift and load weights safely.
