Pressure sore is one of main concerns for people in wheelchiars.
This project tried to assasy an index number associated with
pressure sore, which might be estimated from a number of factors.
Pressure applying to one's hip is one of important factors.
In order to get an accurate force that perpendicularly apples
to one's hip, I designed a pressure sensing seat that includes
three force transducers and are independent of tilting position.
Wheelchair
propulsion biomechanical research investigates how wheelchair
users apply forces to the pushrim, and also to learn how to
reduce the levels of forces across joint structures. This
study expanded the scope of previous investigation by examining
starting and braking of a wheelchair. Nine subjects were tested
using a SMARTwheel system. The results showed that abrupt
braking required approximately 160% m ore peak tangential
force, Ft, than starting and about 230% more than constant
speeding (1.8 m/s). The maximum rate of rise of Ft in braking
was about 260% larger than in starting. Given these results,
wheelchair users may want to avoid abrupt staring and braking
when possible. And researcher may want to investigate these
conditions in relation to injury.
