Diseño de una silla de ruedas para sortear los desniveles del terreno

Abstract

It is necessary for people living with reduced mobility or with disabilities to be able to make large movements in rural areas to improve their quality of life, which, in a country like Colombia, the attention given to people living in this type of area with such a condition of disability is low. So for this project a wheelchair will be designed to overcome the unevenness of the terrain in the south of Tolima in Colombia, which will reduce the effort required by the user. In this project, the current assessment of a rural sector is carried out first, to take a sample of the terrain and points that could provide maintenance, thus achieving the information and documentation of the problem to proceed to propose solutions, concluding with the proposal of a suitable design for that purpose.
