INVENTIVE DESIGN OF THE WEEK: STEAMPUNK BACK BRACE
by Hazed
When a young woman called Maddie was involved in a car accident, she suffered a fracture of one of her vertebrae. Doctors gave her a back brace to wear while it healed. But she wasn’t impressed by the standard brace, so she enlisted a friend to come up with an alternative.
The friend, Sarah, does set design for theatres so the two of them were able to make something amazing: a steampunk back brace.
