Our project aims to design and manufacture a self-propelling beach wheelchair that adaptive surfers can use to independently travel to and from the beach to surf.
We created a fully functional below the knee leg prosthetic that was designed to specifically be used for surfing. Normal prosthetics do not give users the required ankle mobility required for complex movements needed to surf such as squatting. Our design is focused on given the user the required movement while keeping the weight of the prosthetic light enough to be comfortable.
