SkiBoundless
Help people with ALS experience the joy of skiing
Rehabilitation exercises can slow the progression of ALS, and the product can be adapted to the multiple stages of the patient's illness. Given that ALS symptoms involve a gradual loss of muscle movement, we have designed a ski product for these specific needs with a strong focus on safety. The product consists of a supportive outboard and a wearable inside, complemented by a mouth-controlled braking system for the outboard ski. Under the guidance of a ski instructor, patients choose the right equipment for their condition, ensuring a personalized and safe skiing experience
