Evaluation of Dynamics of Pushing a Wheelchair Up or Down a Slope
2012
Journal of System Design and Dynamics
Japan's progressing aging society increasingly needs evaluation of equipment used for human assistance. Earlier studies have evaluated the use of wheelchairs. However, the manner in which the equipment moderates the generated consumption energy of helpers has not been described sufficiently. This study performs mechanical evaluation of a helper's walking using a wheelchair on a slope. We use the Musculoskeletal Model to estimate the joint moment and energy consumption. Results obtained with 14
