Assistive Device for Writing and Holding Objects and Clothing
Design Challenge
Our user has Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita and struggles to strongly grasp objects. He needs a device to amplify his existing grasping force to help him independently write and hold objects and clothing. Our team worked on developing a device to give our user more independence in school and at home.
