Title
Simulator For Optimal Wheelchair Design
Abstract
This paper presents 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. The proposed 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.
