Empathic Design
Empathic Design
Some of our best insights come from direct experience. With Mobilegs, it was Jeff’s time on crutches. Instead of a painless experience, traditional crutches pushed back and forced the body into awkward positions. Alternatives were few, so our team set to work on a new option — one with a decidedly humanistic point of view.
Drawing on our knowledge of suspension, support, and movement, we were able to focus on the patient and design a device to fit the body, making it easier to engage with life and move pain-free.
In an effort to remove any negative stigmas often associated with assistive mobility, its form was top of mind, purposefully designed with an athletic gear-like quality.
The soft, articulated saddle, combined with its angled grip and rounded base, contours to the body and moves in tandem with each step, providing added comfort and eliminating secondary trauma to its user.
