CUSTOM ADAPTATION
PURPOSE: To provide recreation and lower extremity therapy for seniors and individuals with coordination and mobility disabilities. The device enables the user to tap a rhythm with his/her foot along with music. A base, angled to support a raised foot, was cut from plywood. Another piece of plywood was cut into the shape of a foot and metal shoe protectors, commonly used to protect the toe and heel of shoes, were fastened to the underside of the plywood foot in the toe and heel positions. A pivot was formed by cutting a broom handle in half lengthwise. The tapper is secured to the user’s foot with Velcro. TITLE: Activities for Seniors. JOURNAL: TAD Journal.
