La tecnología avanza a una velocidad de vértigo: las televisiones cada día son más planas, los móviles más inteligentes y los ordenadores más ligeros. Pero las muletas son igual que hace ¿años? ¿Lustros? ¿Décadas? La muleta que nos ayuda a desplazarnos cuando nos lesionamos el pie o la pierna es prácticamente la misma que utilizaban nuestros abuelos cuando eran jóvenes. Pero este joven diseñador industrial de Ontario, Canadá, se ha propuesto revolucionarlas para siempre. Behzad Rashidi ha ideado Sit & Stand, la muleta de última generación que no necesita que uses los brazos. En lugar de apoyar el peso en las extremidades superiores, este modelo se sujeta en el muslo y el tobillo para que tengas las manos completamente liberadas. Además, permite que te sientes sin problemas gracias a una bisagra que tiene en la parte media y que actúa como si fuera una rodilla. Rashidi ha presentado su prototipo al concurso anual de diseño de la Fundación James Dyson, cuyo objetivo es solucionar los problemas cotidianos y hacer un poco más fácil la vida. El ganador se lleva 150.000 dólares para desarrollar su proyecto. ¿Crees que la muleta de última generación los merece?
