| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For this study, we developed bicycles of three types for people with disabilities: a four-wheel type, an upright type, and a recumbent type. Each cycle apparatus has a cycling device unit and a wheelchair. These three cycling devices have different bottom bracket (BB) heights from the ground level. Here, the bottom bracket is a machine element at the center of the crankshaft. Voluntary and functional electrical stimulated (FES) motions were evaluated. This study investigated the effects of BB height on lower limb joint moments of healthy subjects. Experimentation with those bicycles clarified the following results. In cases during either FES exercise or voluntary exercise, use of the recumbent type with the highest BB height facilitates high-intensity exercise. By contrast, the exercise intensity was lower with the upright type and the four-wheel type with a low BB height.
