Kurzfassung englisch:
The aim of this research was to improve the quality of life of a wheelchair bound client living with muscular dystrophy by enabling her to perform tasks which most people take for granted, such as drinking independently. Due to the client´s limited movement of her arms and neck, she was unable to lift a cup to her own mouth. To aid her in this endeavor, three different low-cost mechanical assistive concepts were created. These were presented to the client and the most suitable option was chosen to develop. Work then began on a functional prototype which was manufactured for under the 200 euro
