Project background

Lara sits in a manual wheelchair and it is very difficult to push her chair uphill with painful wrists, necks and backs. It is also difficult to hold back the chair when going downhill. Your task would be to create a solution that helps her caregivers push the chair with ease in any condition outside.

________________________________________________

Lara est assise dans un fauteuil roulant manuel et il est très difficile de pousser sa chaise vers le haut avec des poignets, un cou et un dos douloureux. Il est également difficile de retenir la chaise en descente. Votre tâche serait de créer une solution qui aide ses soignants à pousser le fauteuil facilement dans n'importe quelle condition à l'extérieur.
