About this item
USER
A person with a progressive neurological disease who is finding it difficult to lift their legs onto the bed when lying down
WHAT
The user had difficulty lifting their legs onto the bed by themselves when lying down. Because of weakness in the upper limbs, they could not lift them by hand and had been lifting them with a looped cord. As the upper limb weakness progressed, it became difficult to operate with the cord depending on the position of the leg, so we made an attachment that hooks onto the heel and makes lifting easy regardless of the position of the foot.
Printing tips
It has a shape that the heel catches on easily, and its thickness is 1 mm so that it wraps around the heel and can be operated stably.
Accessories, etc.
The cord and the attachment are connected with a rivet (eyelet).
