Scenario Analysis

Our client has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a condition that puts strain on the joints and produces pain, limiting daily movements such as pulling, pushing, and reaching. My team and I decided to design an easy-to-use and inexpensive device for our client to improve accessibility to daily tasks around the house, and reduce pain on the joins, supporting them instead. The device should also be portable and can be used around the house, or in other areas such as a grocery store

Finalizing our design, we created the Stick-&-Stack, a modular stick with multiple attachments for different purposes.
