Description
Our device was designed to be used by a child who can manually push themselves in their wheelchair. The age range of our target users was seven and up. The kicking simulator will allow the children to simulate playing soccer, roller hockey, or any other activities involving a kicking or pushing motion.

Safety
Safety is the most important aspect of our kicking simulator. We kept in mind that the device should be easily used by the operator, easily attachable, and should not be able to injure the person who is attaching or detaching it from the wheelchair.
