Description

We are a team of engineering students from the Politecnico di Torino (Turin, Italy) working with a 9 years old girl affected by spastic quadriplegia, a subset of spastic cerebral palsy that affect all the four limbs.
The project stems from a collaboration between the Hackability association < http://www.hackability.it/ > and the Hackability@PoliTo < http://www.hackability.it/teampolito/ > students team. The collaboration aims at co-design with disabled people tools the will improve their everyday life and foster their participation to active society.
Here you can find the 3D printed parts from our project.

Joystick_Mod

We found that Anita had a lot of trouble trying to use her electric wheelchair's joystick, so we designed a new one to enable more freedom and better mobility. It is printed in PLA and flexible filament, for better grip and for suction-mounting on the already existing joystick.
To assembly simply join the three parts together with some glue.
Note: if the adapter is too tight to enter in the base make a hole with a needle in the base of the adapter, to let the air escape.

Glifo_Mod

A remix of the GLIFO< https://www.myminifactory.com/it/object/glifo-24092 > (a collaboration between OpenDot and TOG foundation) helps Anita to draw. We redesigned it to made it stronger and to fit perfectly in her hands.

Press with a soldering iron a 4 mm nut into place.

Glue the Pen_Holder and the Outer_Ring together and then glue a 4 mm bolt to the Flower_Handle. Insert the Inner_Ring into the Outer_Ring.

NinjaPillow

To keep her in a correct and more comfortable position we designed two NinjaPillow that fit on the elbow holders. They are printed with flexible filament and 3D infill, to get a soft feeling.
Many thanks to Giuseppe Terruso for helping out with the design.
