Mountain Biker's Ingenious Arm Brace

Fifteen years ago, Tom Wheeler's life took a dramatic turn during a mountain bike race in Rheola, south Wales. A collision with a branch resulted in a severe crash, causing him to lose 80% of the nerves connecting his right arm to his body. This led to a significant loss of sensation and movement.

Undeterred, Wheeler, even while recovering in the hospital, was already conceptualizing his comeback. His innovative spirit led him to design and build a one-of-a-kind arm brace. This custom adaptive technology now allows him to prepare for and engage in mountain biking, demonstrating remarkable resilience and ingenuity.
