Development of an Adaptive KIT for Wheelchair Turning it into an Electric Tricycle

Abstract:

The wheelchair is one of the most used equipment for moving people with motion deficit in the lower limbs. The objective of this work was to design a KIT adaptable to a conventional wheelchair, turning it into an electric tricycle, in order to facilitate the movement of wheelchair users. This KIT enables the adaptive wheelchair travel greater distances in less time, making more quality of life. A structure was designed to fit in a conventional wheelchair, with the aid of CAD tools. This structure is sized to be able to withstand the stresses to which it is submitted. The adaptive KIT presented in this work can be used in a wide variety of models of wheelchairs and is functional, safe, and economically viable.
