This project was done in collaboration with Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. The Pelvic bar is designed for children that need to secure themselves in wheelchairs. Disabilities that require pelvic bars include: MS, MD, stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, scoliosis, etc. The goal of this project was to create a pelvic bar that can be mass produced and adjusted for different children. The pelvic bar is strong enough to secure children in place while it also gives them room to move their legs. Children could also lean foward without creating pressure points.
