Research Abstract |
Improving the usage environment for helpers pushing a wheelchair is an important issue. Steps are one of the main factors that have an effect on the physical strain of wheelchair helpers and the safety of wheelchair users. In this study, we investigated the preferable operation techniques for helpers and standards of step height, taking into account the user’s riding comfort and the helper’s physical strain.
