The Leapfrog Assistive Walker was designed for Children with Cerebral Palsy or Spina Bifida. Assistive walkers for cerebral palsied children are often poorly designed. They are cumbersome to use, inconvenient for caregivers, and look ‘painful’. This is the result of viewing patients as mechanical puzzles in need of repair, and forgetting that they are people with feelings. “I designed Leapfrog to create a new system of gait-training support that is intuitive to use and easier to integrate into the life of the child and his family. I thought it would be good if Leapfrog also had an appeal that would attract unimpaired children to come and play together instead of frightening them away”. We invite you to watch the video bellow to understand how important this project is for the kids with this disease. We hope that the project will not remain just a prototype.
