Newly available Nike prosthetics?

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Yanko design have come up with a neat idea whereby children (or adults) can customise their prosthetics and they look cool.

This is a great solution to a deserved market. UK Sport have thankfully created a research and design initiative to support UK Paralympic athletes by funding nationwide research into frame design to suit wheelchairs and other bodily supports. It is interesting to know, that previously the athletes had to “make do” with support products developed by their parents in the garden shed. We must be grateful for the dedication and resources parents have for their children, otherwise athletes would never be able to reach the career heights that they have already acheived. Well done!
