A parent’s everyday experience can inspire an idea that reaches beyond their own family.
According to the shared post, Debby Elnatan developed Upsee after seeking ways to support her son, who has cerebral palsy.
The device is a harness system that connects a child with an adult, allowing supported upright movement and assisted steps together.
The images show a child positioned in front of an adult, with support around the body and linked footwear. The adult accompanies the movement rather than the child walking independently.
The story highlights how listening to families can inspire practical designs that create more opportunities for participation and shared experiences.
Upsee should not be described as a cure or a promise of independent walking. Whether it is suitable for a particular child requires guidance from their physiotherapist or clinical team.
At its heart, this is a story about a mother looking for another way to help her child take part—and turning that search into an idea.
