Project Overview

After experiencing a stroke, our client has had problems with walking due to a weakened left side. She has found that placing a ball in her hand allows her hand to relax, which consequently improves her walking gait. Our goal is to design a convenient, easy to operate hand-held device to relax her hand when walking, while at the same time easy to relocate or remove for tasks with both hands.
