We were asked in our Y1 of Product Design a project focused on a specific user with a disability. Our user Stravroula is a 68 years old woman with Osteoarthritis of her knees.
She feels the pain but as she is active and does a lot of exercises, she feels pretty good, what she hates the most is the stigma of being seen as a disabled person.

We focused on that and developed a product with a lot of potential as a piece of furniture designed for exercising the legs and increasing blood flow through legs aimed more at immobile people (elderly people, people with severe osteoarthritis, etc.) 
Also, using this product will help in the long run suffer less when losing mobility due to osteoarthritis.
