A project to design and test a low-cost body powered prosthesis system
Carolyn Gribble received her master’s in International Development from Utrecht University in the Netherlands after completing a 3-month internship in Kenya. She is currently working as a project manager for a UK registered charity (Knowledge for Change) and as an Administrative Assistant on the Fit-for-purpose, affordable body-powered prostheses project.
A really useful commentary on the importance of considering usability in the design of any assistive device.
