Handle for Stool
The Client-Partner: Avery (a pseudonm) is an individual with multiple sclerosis (MS). She is very active and needs to sit anytime she is not walking to avoid spinal compression. To assist with this, Avery caries a folding camp stool. However, because she needs to open and close it frequently and quickly, she does not use the velcro strap that came with the stool and has started to cause damage to her hand because she carries it in an awkward position.
The Project: Avery came to use to talk about redesigning the tool long-term and short-term to develop a handle. We have been working with her on various designs for the handle to help more immediately with daily carrying of the stool.
