The dynamics of electric powered wheelchair sideways tips and falls: experimental and computational analysis of impact forces and injury

BACKGROUND: To reduce the occurrence of wheelchair falls and to develop effective protection systems, we aimed to quantify sideways tip and fall dynamics of electric power wheelchairs (EPWs). We hypothesized that driving speed, curb height and angle of approach would affect impact forces and head in...
