The goal of this project is to develop a device for patients with lower leg injuries to easily ascend and descend stairs in their homes.

Project Overview

Create an easy-to-use device that patients can kneel on, allowing them to easily climb stairs without using the lower extremities of the affected leg. The device will be relatively lightweight and adjustable, allowing patients in a range of heights to use it.
