Study on relevance between electric wheelchair riding comfort and user exposure to whole-body vibration

This paper describes user's mechanical vibration and shock while riding the electric wheelchair on the different road conditions. We conduct experiments for measurement of 9-Axis data by using the 9-Axis sensor implemented on the actual electric wheelchair. Then, we investigate the relevance be...

Summary:This paper describes user's mechanical vibration and shock while riding the electric wheelchair on the different road conditions. We conduct experiments for measurement of 9-Axis data by using the 9-Axis sensor implemented on the actual electric wheelchair. Then, we investigate the relevance between the comfort of wheelchair user and the vibration. The vibration characteristics of the human body and their effects are discussed.
