Abstract
People with hip disarticulation are those who have had a leg surgically removed above the hip, taking away every muscle and movement in one of their limbs. A surgery of this type makes it extremely difficult for its recipients to lead an active lifestyle. This project aimed to design a bicycle for use by people with hip disarticulation, thus enabling them to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle despite their obstacles.
