Ian Weir, Department of National Defense, along with Paul Ragot performed a laser scan of her good leg to capture symmetry. Bob Garrish of Spring Loaded Technology performed a white light scan to aid in design. Jourdan Dakov and Kendall Joudrie, consulting with Natasha, designed and engineered a stable prototype following the scans with Natasha’s symmetry.
