The Amazing Alter-Leg
| Division: | Health Sciences / None | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Cape Breton | | City: | Sydney, NS | | School: | Riverview High School | | Abstract: | The "Alter-leg" is an innovation that incorporates the use of material such as springs, sponge, and a heel stirrup to create a device that relieves pressure off of one's foot in order to decrease the length of time a person with a broken leg needs to use crutches. After numerous tests, the "Alter-Leg" proved to be more convenient and safer compared to crutches. |
