Van Driving Wedge

Challenge:

Colleen had been experiencing difficulty transferring into her van seat and stabilizing her feet while driving the van. Her posture was poor as well and over an extended period of time would cause pressure sores on the bottom of her legs.

Solution:

A wooden wedge was designed and fitted under Colleen’s feet to aid her while transferring into the van seat and stabilize her feet and knees while driving. Thus her posture was greatly improved and had eliminated the pressure under her legs which caused the pressure sores.
