Abstract
The goal of this project was to produce a test device and
methodology capable of measuring the mechanical
efficiency of manual wheelchairs. The result would
provide an objective measure of wheelchair performance
that are required to effectively prescribe wheelchairs and
to code wheelchairs properly for reimbursement.
