2A2-V11 Studies on electrically powered wheelchairs adjusting to operation abilities of users : 6th report : An attempt to evaluate the operation abilities of users(Welfare Robotics and Mechatronics (3))

Abstract

Users of an electrically powered wheelchair have several operation abilities and they change with time. We have proposed an electrically powered wheelchair with the operation assist system for a physically handicapped person, who cannot use a conventional electrically powered wheelchair. In this study, we propose a scheme for evaluation of operation abilities of users.
