Tetra Society Mobility Aid
Posted on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025
Tetra Society of North America put Algonquin College in contact with a client who has a chronic foot condition which can be mitigated by not putting weight on their feet. The Tetra Society instructed our team to design a device which could aid the client in day-to-day activities and could be patterned to allow the Tetra Society to produce the device for clients with similar needs.
The mobility aid was designed from the outset to use a minimum of student designed parts to reduce complexity and cost. Bicycle parts and other mobility devices comprise the bulk of the mobility aid.
Our project team intends to deliver a prototype to the original client for feedback, which will influence the future development of the device.
