Fatemeh, Triple Amputee, a True Artist

I met her through instagram, her name popped up on my suggestion screen. I took a quick glance at her page...wow! she plays Santoor and piano, she does calligraphy and its beautiful, flawless, just amazing! She paints with wood-burning. I was amazed how she can control the tools and musical instruments. You can follow her on Instagram at @salehi.fatemeh

Fateme Playing Santoor


She was born with only one leg. Part of our project is to design a stand for her to wear the prosthetic leg by herself. That part is covered by Admin.


Attachment for Fatemeh:

I intend to design her a few stuff. An attachment to hold Mezrab shown in figures below and a couple of more devices.


The prosthetic and attachment mechanism

The springs allow her to swing the Mezrab (wooden sticks) better on the Santoor strings. I believe that is a necessary item to consider as part of the design. The plastic is flexible and sticks to her hand. I am designing the attachment to this plastic. I attached a sketch


The Mezrab is a thin wooden piece, you can look it up "Mezrab Santoor". I attached couple of photos here. Roughly 1/4" thick and 9" long.
