Project background
In a gym there are not many pieces of equipment that a person in a wheelchair can easily use. This client is looking for a way to adapt a leg press machine in the gym so that it can be used by a person with limited leg/foot control.

Your task would be to adapt an existing leg press machine so that someone can keep their feet on the platform without any struggle and be able to exercise with it safely. It must be intuitive to use and easy to maintain. It must be easily removable from the machine and easy to store. It should also be easy to clean like other gym equipment and be adjustable for different people.
