Powered attendant-propelled wheelchair with assist-as-needed control based on individual physical capabilities
2021
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering
Preserved Fulltext
This paper discussed if a powered attendant propelled wheelchairs (PAPW) with assist-as-needed control reduces energy consumption and maximise attendant's physical activity in powered system use. ...
With the PAPW, we investigated the performance of the FVAC and compared it with proportional assist control (PAC) on a flat level surface and a longitudinal slope (6.5%) with three participants. ...
Attendant-propelled wheelchairs (APWs) are very useful and popular for carers to support a person with walking disability in daily activities. ...
