BraunPrize 2007 with his project "Leapfrog”. Four finalists
from four different countries managed to be in the last stage of
the competition this year. 907 entries from 54 countries
participated in this competition.
LeapFrog combines stander & walker functionality - it
transforms, and assists, in sync with the paraplegic child’s
intention to sit, stand, or walk. This enables more frequent
practice with lower supervision.
Besides supporting physical development, sense of independence
and esteem, LeapFrog also turns ‘painful’ medical engineering
aesthetics into humane, sociable, toy-like approachability. |
