Our current design has fixed link lengths, so it is only catered towards one person. Ideally, we would like for the mechanism to be customizable to multiple sized users since each person has different shank and foot proportions. In the future, adjustable linkages would be convenient so that the same entire mechanism can be used by different people. This could be done by cutting slots into the links, and having notches at certain increments where the links could lock at any desired length to fit each user. Additionally, we would want to test the efficacy of our design to consolidate that we promote better results than use without our instrument. In addition to human testing, we would want to receive their feedback and understand areas of improvement from the actual consumer base or other features which would significantly make the product more desirable. Linkage connections could also be improved as currently the hinges are likely to break if used with great voracity.
