By Patty House, OSU Extension Educator
The Problem
Brian and his dad Bob suffer from arthritis. They spend hours daily behind the wheel of a tractor and truck. Their doctor suggested they purchase a new tractor seat to improve posture and comfort.
The Challenge
Design a freestanding seat that Brian and Bob can test for improved support, comfort, and maneuverability.
