Low-interference wheelchair footrest
Design a prototype of a wheelchair footrest to allow user to interact with surroundings using their foot movement.
Project Overview
The project aims to innovate wheelchair footrest design to overcome the limitations of current models which are often cumbersome, heavy, and restrict leg movement or access to the ground. The goal is to create a footrest that is lightweight, easily detachable, and foldable, enhancing the wheelchair user's comfort, and allows interactions with surroundings through the footrest.
