Today, we designed a hinge for this prototype. One will be printed so that we can make further adjustments before printing two. We will begin exploring different material options, design shapes, and whether we will be doing an outside-the-shoe brace or one that fits inside the shoe. A band will need to be ordered so that the calf section will be secure, and we will need to figure out a method of securing the bottom section. The product's general design will be perfected before allowing increased motor function through adjustable tension.
Also, a second meeting will be scheduled with our City As Our Campus Mentor to discuss our prototype and future plans.
