Two innovative industrial designers from Barcelona have crafted a revolutionary swimming fin to accelerate the rehabilitation of Pedro, a 16-year-old boy who suffered a devastating stroke that left half his body paralyzed. Pedro is a sports enthusiast from Barcelona who was just 16 years old when he suffered a life-altering stroke in August 2012. The hemorrhage damaged his brain's basal ganglion, causing paralysis on one side of his body. After an extended period of rehabilitation, Pedro regained significant mobility, but unfortunately, his right hand remained affected by spasticity. Spasticity is a debilitating disorder that causes an abnormal increase in muscular tone, severely limiting movement in the affected muscles. This condition has been a major obstacle for Pedro, hindering his progress in regaining full mobility. Thanks to the cutting-edge BCN3D Sigma 3D printer, industrial designers created a bespoke orthotic swimming fin tailored specifically to Pedro's hand measurements. The use of 3D printing technology enabled them to produce a customized device that perfectly fit Pedro's needs. The immediacy offered by 3D printing allowed Pedro to receive his personalized swimming fin in an incredibly short period, reaping numerous benefits, including: Improved body position, facilitating smooth strokes and movements Increased musculature in the upper body Enhanced endurance, enabling Pedro to spend more time in the pool without fatigue As a result of these improvements, Pedro's muscle tone throughout his body has been significantly enhanced.
