Broken Plexus is a three-part micro-series focusing on assistive design for those suffering from severe brachial plexus injuries (BPI). While detailing the author's personal recovery journey post-BPI, the series aims to provide practical resources for long-haul rehabilitation. It discusses designing organized physical therapy workbooks, optimizing supportive slings and braces, and finding appropriate apparel for nerve damage. The author, a design journalist with personal experience in recovery, emphasizes that the design lessons are broadly applicable to various physical rehabilitation scenarios, helping streamline therapeutic processes for others as well.
"The brachial plexus is a critical network of nerve pathways running between the spinal cord and the arm. This article series serves as a resource for those navigating long-haul recovery from brachial plexus injuries."
"Design lessons explored in these articles are applicable to a wider range of physical rehabilitation problems and processes beyond just brachial plexus injuries."
"It all started in the wake of an encounter with the doctor overseeing my BPI rehabilitation process - after seeing my rehabilitation workbook, he strongly encouraged me to share it with others."
