the Human Engineering Analysis of the Racing Wheelchair

In order to improve the human engineering properties for the racing wheelchair, using the CATIA Human Engineering Analysis module, this paper established the human body 3-D model, analyzed the eligibility of the hold and the extend for the racing wheelchair, analyzed and evaluated the comfort of three typical sports postures of human body. The general evaluation results accorded with the human body kinematic theory, and the upper limb comfort gradually became better, in a movement cycle of the upper limbs driving the wheelchair.
