Rise is a project focused on the rethinking of the crutch to make life easier for those who rely on these devices. Through the addition of a secure folding mechanism and the re-examining of each element of a crutch, Rise provides an experience that minimises the shortcomings of conventional crutches by focusing on liveability, comfort and structure. This is achieved alongside a focus on repairability so that one device can indefinitely support one or see many others recover within one lifetime. Unlike the same crutch design that's been used since 1917, rise aims to provide an aesthetically pleasing form factor made to seamlessly blend temporarily or permanently into someone's life.
