The Dog Leash Hand help for people who dont have fingers walk their dog. The Hnad helps te person hold and use a retractable leash.

The goal of our studio was to make protetic hands that could do a spesific task. My project was to design and create a protetic dog leash hand. It will help people be able to hold and stop a retractable leash. 

My origanal idea was to make the leash like a fishing rod. That didn't work because the person would have to use both hands to real the dog in. My next idea  was to use a retractable dog leash as the hand. When David came he helped me find out that dog leashes and fishing rods have a similar mecinism we found out that the stoping mecanisum wouldn't work because they don't have fingers. So David and I came up with the idea that we should use a pen to click the stopper into place. When I did my frist draft I realized that the leash wouldn't stay. Also I didn't have anything to keep the hand on the arm. We made some modifcations to the hand part and made a new brace and we made.
