As a disabled person, I have been deeply thankful for lego's continous representation of people with disabilities. However, I have often found myself wishing for a dedicated set, especially an adult-oriented display piece. As such, I have drafted a display piece of five mobility aids, from right to left, as follows:
- A Wheelchair- The specific type of wheelchair depicted is a self-propelled manual wheelchair, which I chose for simplicity in depiction, and ubiquity as a simbol of disability.
- A Walking Cane- This specific walking cane is modeled after one I use personally, with an included extra three pieces for a semi-decorative skull handle, which I also have used.
- A Rollator- A four-wheeled walker with brakes and a seat. I chose it over other gait trainers and walking frames because of its ease of depiction, and because of my own personal perception of under-representation.
- A pair of Forearm Crutches- Included over under-arms for their commonality in longer-term use.
- A White Cane- Chosen over other sensory aids such as hearing aids, for its ease of depiction.
I have also included a small display of minifigures to show other disabilities and aids, as well as some of the aforementioned aids in use.
Image descriptions:
- A rendering of two black stage-like platforms, one with a set of mobility aids on it and one with a set of minifigures. The mobility aids are, from left to right, a wheelchair, a cane, a rollator, a pair of forearm crutches, and a white cane, which is propped between a clear brick stand and a yellow Lego plate. The minifigures are too small to discern too much detail. All of this is visibly made from Lego bricks.
- A slightly closer view of the mobility aid display, from the same angle as the previous image. The stagve with the minifigures is not in this image.
- A much closer view of the minifigure platform. Leftmost, there is a minifigure of a woman in grey pants and a light blue shirt with glasses, a black cane, and brown curly hair. Next to her is a man in a green wheelchair, wearing a white shirt with black sleeves. He also has glasses, a beard, and curly hair. To his right is another man, with short black hair and visible hearing aids. He is wearing a purple shirt with red sleeves and blue pants. Fourth is a woman in a pink dress, with a prosthetic pirate-style Lego leg. To her left is a person in brown pants and a green shirt, who is wearing glasses and holding a white cane in their left hand. Lastly, on the far right, is a man in brown pants and a light blue shirt. He has two blue crutches, a moustache, and a goatee.
- A three-quarters view of the wheelchair. It is not on the platform. It has a black seat and back, with a light purple frame and spokes. It is made of Lego pieces.
- A three-quarters view of the white cane. It is floating in the air, above a small yellow Lego plate, like textured pavement near many street crossings. The cane has four segments in its body, one with a handle, one red, and the other two solid white. In between each of the sections is a small black ring, as if the cane could fold. At the end is a round tip. The cane is made entirely out of Lego pieces.
- A three-quarters view of a red rollator. It is made entirely out of technic pieces, with brakes connected to string, leading to the wheels, as if to represent brakelines. There is also a seat attached partway up the frame. The seat looks deap, as if it contains storage.
- A three-quarter view of a cane. it has a grey ferrule at the base, black shaft, and brown handle. It is made entirely of Lego pieces.
- A pair of forearm crutches. They have grey ferrules, black shafts, and cyan cuffs and grips. They are angles slightly towards eachother, and made entirely of Lego pieces.
- A three-quarter view of a cane. It has the same body as the previous cane, but instead of brown handle it has a golden minifigure head piece with a traditional Lego skull printing.
