Individuals with disabilities who are wheelchair bound often require medical devices such as urinary bags. Typically these devices are exposed and can be embarrassing when visible in public. Often such devices are hidden under baggy long pants or clothing, and the individual in the wheelchair has very limited clothing options, particularly in summer when such clothing is hot or uncomfortable.

This seat cover design is intended to hide such medical devices and allow for the individual in a wheelchair to have maximum independence while making the cover easy to clean and sized to fit any seat cushion.

A urinary bag can be placed inside the plastic lined bag that hangs from the seat cushion cover. A black flap hides the catheter tube which can be easily connected to an individual without being visible even in shorts.

Exoskeleton arm design

This is a preliminary work in progress design for an open source 3D printable exoskeleton arm brace to assist the disabled to raise their arm.  As someone with a form of muscular dystrophy called SMA, I have significant difficulty lifting my arms.  Similar devices exist, but they are cost prohibitive for most people and not covered by insurance.  I wanted to create an open source, inexpensive exoskeleton arm brace that utilizes both springs to offset arm weight and a motor to raise the individual’s arm that would be free to download and modify.  Please note that for legal reasons, this is not intended as a medical devise and I make no warren tees nor can I vouch for the safety of this device as it is purely for experimentation.  Part of the concept is that this arm brace will allow additional snap on attachments or modifications.
