Contexte du projet
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 for a person with limited hand grip and dexterity to be able to use a weight machine. The person would have some help to attach a device to their wrists/forearms to be able to use the machine.

Your task would be to design a device which can allow a person to 'grab' onto a bar or other handle on a weight machine and be able to exercise with it safely. It must be intuitive to use and easy to maintain. It must be quick to put on and adjust for different people. It should also be easy to clean like other gym equipment.
