Project background
This client would like to do foot exercises however doesn't have the strengths or dexterity to reach their foot or to hold an elastic band. The current machines on the market are very expensive, do not have pre-programmed exercises and are not voice controlled.

Your task is to design a device to flex the foot with voice controlled commands. It must be easy to clean and comfortable to use. It must be safe and have buttons as back up for controls. It should have pre-programmed exercises where it lifts once every 2 or 5 seconds for example. It should also work for both feet and be easy to set up and maintain.
