Brilliant...maybe they could use their skill to produce something I have thought about.
I was recently in a pool and walking with the aid of a huge rubber ring, boy did that feel good, to be upright and kind of walking. I got frustrasted that I could not do this on dry land. Is it possible to make like a baby walker...you know, the ones on 4 wheels, and you sit the baby in it, supported by a sling. Maybe a hairbrained idea.
