Abstract: 

This article focuses on the development of a specialized mini-golf putter designed for individuals with disabilities. The focus is on creating a design with an adjustable telescopic shaft, allowing for individual adjustment of the handle length and the angle of the striking surface, significantly facilitating the ball strike for players with various disabilities. The developed device boasts enhanced ergonomics and versatility, ensuring comfortable use by individuals with various disabilities, from musculoskeletal disorders to sensory impairments such as vision and hearing. Such innovative solutions open up new opportunities for the development of inclusive sports environments, facilitating the involvement of individuals with disabilities in active sports and recreation. The proposed ideas hold promise for the further development of sports technologies aimed at creating accessible sports infrastructure and improving the quality of life of individuals with disabilities through increased physical activity and effective socialization.
