Marlow junior pararower, Adam Hussain, has one leg considerably shorter than the other and it also unable to bend it creating a considerably issue in his erging stability. Despite securing a World Record for his age group as BRIC this year, he is keen to push further and will be limited to do so without a solid base. We had been jury rigging a whole slew of weights, foam and duct tape trying to fashion a fix, but these were all cumbersome and never quite fully effective.
Marlow boatman and adaptation specialist, John Stephenson (creator of the sliding fixed seat) crafted a special adaptation to support his impaired leg. I thought it would be useful to share to provide design ideas for others who may face similar challenges.
