| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to develop some humanoid dummies which simulate wheelchair users such as persons with spinal cord injuries. The dummies are expected to evaluate assistive devices, e.g. seat cushions for tissue integrity, shower chairs, clothes and so forth. The dummies developed can imitate various kinds of movements, postures and shapes of wheelchair users. One of the developed dummies is equipped with several sensors, which can measure clothing pressures before and after armor deformation. Another dummy can measure compressive and shearing loads under the ischial tuberosities and the sacrum. Utilizing the developed dummies, compressive and shearing loads under the ischial tuberosities were measured when they sat on different kinds of seat cushions and toilet seats. As a result, it proved that the dummies are useful for evaluating assistive devices such as seat cushions and clothes.
