Description
This leg support avoid pressure wounds created by the wheelchair frame (This happens on people unable to control their legs, for example a person with a spinal cord injury). This Aid allows a better pressure distribution.
There are two prototypes. "Leg support.stl" can be attached by pressure to the frame of the wheel chair. The other one ""Leg support with velcro.stl" is an alternative in case that the first one broke when it's attached to the weelchair (due to weak 3D printed layer union). In this case a velcro allows to attach it to the wheel chair (watch images above)
This object was made for the "Mutual de Seguridad C.Ch.C" from Chile. In a project of the Direction of innovation and development, and the Neuro rehabilitation institute.
