摘要: Abstract Rear tipping accidents in wheelchairs are a common problem, the likelihood of which may be increased by combination wheelchair with low stability and an occupant altered body morphology, such as person lower limb amputations. This study tests hypothesis that counterweights on footrests significantly increase static rear stability. In addition to pilot work indicating amount positioning effective counterweights, ten normal subjects were studied tilting platform both lightweight conventional wheelchairs, without 5-kg weight footrests. The angles at front casters lifted off from mean 28.6 (±2.7)° 34.8 (±3)° ( p
