Projects
- TX WalkerFor my final project of my university degree I decided to tackle the stigmas around walking aides and how people are seen by socity when they use one. I have designed a new, collaspable, portable walking aid that is stylish and descrete. It allows the user to have the comfort and stability of knowing that they have a four legged walking aide if they need one but can keep it as a walking stick when they want to be discrete.
- MotiCaptureThe charity Motivation came to my university (University of the West of England) who specialise in getting wheelchairs to people in the developing countries. They asked us to create a new system for taken accurate measuremnets on children with cerebral paulsey to give them the correct support where they need it.

- Moticapture - Wheelchair supports for the developing worldBrief (3 weeks, teams of five, client led project.) Children who are fitted for wheelchairs in developing countries often have conditions that mean they require additional supports, for example Cerebral Palsy. The location of these supports is determined by an Occupational Therapist, who uses their hands to identify where added supports would be most beneficial. The methods that are currently used to translate the required location of supports onto the wheelchair can be inaccurate and time consuming. Solution MotiCapture aims to provide every client with accurate, tailored supports and every Occupational Therapist with a tool that saves them time. The jig and ratchet system allows the Occupational Therapist to select, adjust and secure the right supports into the right location for the client. The technician then places the back plate of the client’s chair into the jig frame and marks the exact location of the required supports. The Ratchet hand has 6 positions from large to small. The ratchet is tightened until it supports the client. A number reading is taken from the dial that corresponds with a stock pile of 3D printed supports.
- MotiCaptureMotivation are a Bristol based charity who specialise in providing wheelchairs to a multitude of people in developing countries. Currently, users with Cerebral Palsy are measured by an Occupational Therapist and the supports are attached onto the user’s backrest. MotiCapture allows the Occupational Therapist to select, adjust and secure the right supports into the exact location for each client. The adjustable arms determine where the user needs additional support. The OT then marks through holes in the hand onto the client’s backboard.
