Summary
Access to training equipment for mobility assessments can be limited for individuals preparing to qualify for powered wheelchairs. This project addresses that challenge by developing a device that converts a manual wheelchair into an electric system. The design provides a consistent platform for students to practice required assessments. The goal is to support skill development, improve accessibility to training tools and help individuals prepare for qualification processes.
