Our capstone design project is to design a system to aid lower limb amputees in donning their prosthetic liner. The design needs to ensure that the pin is aligned correctly for a patient with low flexibility, dexterity, or vision. The product should be comfortable, easy to use, work with current commercial pin locking liners, and reduce strain for the patient during the donning process.
