　　現今的義肢太過昂貴，許多需要義肢的人們都負擔不起，因為這群使用者大多從事粗工或中低收入戶家庭，就算擁有健保的台灣在補助方面依舊使的家境困難的肢障者無法支付義肢的價格與維護費，更何況是第三世界國家的人們，這導致義肢需求者們原先就有劣勢與他人競爭，也使得許多身障者感到自卑與無助。

　The expense of artificial limbs is still high, many poors and low-income families cannot afford it. Taiwan which has healthcare cannot offer the aids of the price and maintenance expense of artificial limbs to the people with disabilities that are in poverty, not to mention in third world countries. The circumstance causes a disadvantage position to people with disabilities competing with others and results the feel of inferior and helplessness.

　　利用市面上容易找到的低價材料來取代現有的義肢材料，使用水管取代義肢結構並且利用整體張拉結構(Tensegrity)與3D列印(3D Printer)的技術來補強水管的結構強度。或許未來可以再結合一些簡易的發電裝置運用在腳步的踩踏模式或義肢的關節部位，使得行走時也可以擁有儲存電力的功能，並支援在一些只需要少量電力的行為上（例如：發送求救訊號、3C產品充電），讓使用者能以便宜的價格購買到義肢卻又不失其功用。

　I replaced the materials of artificial limbs with low-price substitutes available in the markets. The pipes replaced artificial limbs structure and strengthened the intensity by the methods of Tensegrity and 3D Printing. It may attached some simple electric generator devices on the stamping pattern or joints of artificial limbs in the future, and make it capable to restore the electricity while walking and support some functions that require small amount of electricity from it (e.g., send emergency signals, mobile phone charger). Users may get the artificial limbs in low price and retain the original function of it.

　我認為設計是為了幫助更多人而去做的事情，我們不應該拿設計去貪圖利益及謀取暴利，所以我一直致力於製作醫療方面的設計作品，期望能用友善及正確的方式使得產品與人之間擁有更良好的溝通方式。

　We should make correct use to help more people all over the world. Design should not be regard as commercial interests and profiteering. However, I have been committed with Medical design. I expect that we use friendly and the right ideas that people would be treated better because of my works.
