Fid, a 51-year-old active man affected by Becker Muscular Dystrophy, loves going to the theatre, restaurants and friends’ houses.  He walks using crutches when he goes out but struggles getting off standard chairs, sofas and stools – it causes unnecessary back pain from weight-bearing on his crutches. Fid is seeking a portable and lightweight solution that he can operate independently that could raise him up and down off these surfaces.
