The Second Hand : More Power. Triggered.
Hand Splint for enhancing movement.
Inspiration
Many people must have encountered funcionality or reduced function problem after a fracture or injury. For example someone has got fracture in finger. After recovery his/her finger won’t move as it should. I myself have limited functionality in my right hand. I want to make a device or tool that would help and enhance physical functionality.
Intent
My intent for this project is to help people so that they can do more by enhancing the functionality.
Goal
For this course of time I would try to achive finger movement.
