D4E1 Streetjet Lever Aid
This project is a schoolproject made by 3 last years industrial design students and 1 occupational therapy
student.
Our cliënt has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. She uses a wheelchair to move around and for long distances she uses her streetjet with it. Because of her disease it’s difficult to bend over, it makes her struggle to operate the safety lever. After a long and difficult proces we came with a final solution that solves the problem and answers her demands.
