Evaluation of Trajectory Applied to Collaborative Rehabilitation For a Wheelchair Driving Simulator

  • Conference paper

Part of the IFMBE Proceedings book series (IFMBE,volume 22)

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show the first results of a work in progress on the design and the implementation of a safe made navigation assistance tool for electric wheelchairs, and related to three fields : simulation, decision-making aid and rehabilitation. It will lead to the design and to the implementation of a platform of tests for functional residual capacities of handicapped persons and evaluation of progressions/regressions induced by sequences of rehabilitation.
