The client has problems with her balance and needs her pram to be stable and under control at all times.

The Challenge

The client has balance problems and has difficulty controlling her pram, specifically the footbrake arrangement. Hand brakes are required to control, stop and park her pram without using the foot brake.

The solution

A pair of walker brake handles were available so these were incorporated into the solution. Ccustom brake handle bodies were 3D printed in PLA which allowed them to be clamped to the pram handlebar. Bowden brake cables connected the handbrake assembly to a pair of custom brake mechanisms which pressed down on the wheels. This allowed the client to apply gentle pressure to control the pram speed or stop fully and lock for parking.

The benefit

This enables the client to go for walks with her baby more safely and with less likelihood of falling.
