Abstract:

Abstract. The wheelchair comfort is a subjective evaluation of users, which is influenced by wheelchair itself, environmental factors and physiological factors. It is difficult to make evaluation about wheelchair comfort by a general approach. In this essay, Analytic Hierarchy Process, based on a scientific decision-making idea which combines qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis, was used to establish the evaluation system about wheelchair comfort indicator, and the weight of each indicator was determined. For this reason, the evaluation of wheelchair comfort is more scientific and reasonable.
