Wheelchair Bag Access
About this project
Steve, a 55-year-old architect affected by Becker Muscular Dystrophy, has weakened proximal muscles and is a part-time wheelchair user. Steve is always on the go – his challenge is to create a simple and flexible system that enables him to easily access, secure, remove and attach bags and other objects to his wheelchair. This will enable Steve to independently access items of varying capacities without the difficulty of reaching around the wheelchair.
