Description

Our project entails a muscle training device designed to be attached to the armrest of a wheelchair.
This is a compact device that features a hook where the user can fasten a resistance band. It provides a range of exercises to strengthen the arm muscles that can offer a pratical and accessible solution for wheelchair users looking for exercising.
