Elisa Madroñero, student of the Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering of the Universitat Jaume I, has completed her final project in collaboration with the Multiple Sclerosis Association of Castelló, which has consisted in the design of a special headrest for people with neurological diseases.

The aim is to use this product as a medium for patients of the AEMC that will be added to the existing ones. Physiotherapists will evaluate each patient to adjust the width of the headrest according to its initial state and its rate of improvement. Once adjusted by physiotherapists, the design allows the patient to train in a simple and autonomous way in order to improve and maintain the correct position of the head. The next phase will consist in developing a physical prototype.
