Treadmill device for children with disabilities

University of Limerick student Jonathan O Toole, 22, has created a design of a new Siul Skool treadmill device to help children with disabilities.

The innovative new treadmill to help children with disabilities is in the running to scoop a top international design prize.

The paediatric creation contains a speed controller, speed selector and brightness controller, with the rate set to the infant's ability.

Mr O'Toole, who has just completed an industrial design degree, will now see his device compete against designs from 20 other countries to win a prestigious James Dyson Award.
