Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 機電系統工程研究所碩士班 === 99 === In recent years, the increasing elderly population and declining birth rate ,since 1994, Taiwan has formally been entered the aging society, in this aging society, elderly care and rehabilitation is among one of the big issues, and cerebrovascular disease or commonly known as common symptoms of stroke is being one of the most common disease. For the poor mobility of the elderly, stroke patients due to lack of independent action of the function, wheelchair or scooter as their main daily mobility tools. However, stroke patients with hemiplegia in the use of general manual wheelchair, they generally remove the pedals removed, and lower the seat height so that the healthy side of the feet can touch the ground and control the wheelchair forward direction, but this asymmetry way of force, often resulting in wheelchair driven eviation. Based on this, the design of the study for patients with hemiplegia and wheelchair product needs and shortcomings of traditional wheelchairs made improvements, operation more easily simple line with the concept of bio-mechanics, to solve long-standing hemiplegic patients the inconvenience of using a wheelchair.
