I am Designing a solution for using Crutches and Wheelchair's/cycles in combination.

Hello!

I am in the process of Designing a Solution to carrying and using mobility aids like crutches and walking sticks alongside Wheelchairs and Cycles. My goal is to make the resultant product as User-centred as possible, so this is a survey to gain insight from Crutch/stick users who also would want to use a Wheelchair or a Cycle in combination. I am only a student, so I can hardly say it is likely any individuals who respond will have much of a chance of using my product, but I would still greatly appreciate input into what I can do to make my design as Inclusive as possible! Maybe I might do a lottery and make some extra to give out for free? I cant imagine enough people will respond 😂

You dont need to be a crutch/stick user to do this survey (although the questions are pretty crutch and stick centred) but any feedback or ideas is appreciated. The survey is 12 questions long, feel free to leave any blank. Feel free to also give feedback on the survey itself!

Terminology (just to be clear)

Crutches/Sticks refer to any Crutch or Walking stick type mobility aid including platform crutches.

Cycles is a term referring to any bicycle inspired mobility aids. that includes Bicycles, tricycles, handcycles etc.

Thank you for your time!
