Design and Development of Hydraulic Chair for Handicapped Person

Abstract: Wheelchairs are still the best form of mobility for many bedridden peoples. However, wheelchair for bedridden people is always sold at very high price. Apart from that, they're also not innovative enough. We decide to design, and build cheaper, yet feature rich wheelchair for bedridden. We make sure this product is useful, safe to use, ergonomic, and cheaper that the current one in the market. A new concept of having hydraulic system to adjust the height of the wheelchair is to address the issue of ergonomic current design. In this wheelchair we use the hydraulic jack for lifting, wheels for transfer the from one locations to another location and also frame of wheel chair manufactured from mild steel materials having high strength and seating arrangement is foldable.
