Discussion of Efficiancy

C5-C6 Quadriplegic Putting Pants On

I believe that my prototype works and that it can work effectively. However, there are certain things that can be improved on such as comfort and stability. Therefore my next steps would be to improve on my prototype as much as possible to make it the best it can be within my access.
