Usability and Vibration Analysis of a Low-Profile Automatic Powered Wheelchair to Motor Vehicle Docking System

[摘要] HighlightsWhat are the main findings?The QLX showed slightly lower whole-body vibration and shocks exposure than the 4-point tiedown system while riding the vehicle.The QLX showed better usability, especially when docking in the vehicle, than other wheelchair docking systems.What is the implication of the main finding?The QLX has sufficient ground clearance to avoid the problems commonly encountered when traversing uneven surfaces.
