DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF LEVER OPERATED WHEELCHAIR FOR DISABLED PERSON WITH NO LEGS

Abstract: The design and fabrication of lever operated wheelchair is can be renovated. There are many numbers of people who are suffering from disabilities caused by an accidental injury. Various methods are used for developing manual wheelchair in order to help those people. HMI, HCL and Accelerometer in the wheelchair are some of them used by researchers. These techniques modify the existing design but there are many individuals who cannot manage to pay for advanced model. So, in this deign we are replacing the chain drive mechanism by slider crank mechanism for conveying the force to give motion to wheelchair. The wheelchair is designed in such a way that it requires a less effort by an operator to operate and it is economically affordable as compared to other advanced wheelchair.
