Sean is a young boy living with ataxic cerebral palsy. Ataxic cerebral
palsy affects Sean’s balance and coordination, so he uses a walker to
increase his mobility. Sean would like to play Special Olympics Floor
Hockey but his walker prevents him from participating. The goal of this
Senior project was to develop a device to be attached to his previous
walker to allow Sean to play floor hockey in the least restrictive
environment possible. The Adaptive Floor Hockey Device is the product
we designed to satisfy this need.
