Research Abstract |
An adaptive simulator for a manual wheelchair to reduce the user's upper limb load during wheelchair manipulation and to increase the efficiency of wheelchair propulsion was developed. The developed simulator provides an optimal position of the handrim/lever and the desired angular position of the seat and backrest of the wheelchair based on the user's body function.
