摘要: An international track wheelchair (ITWC) with a center of gravity directional controller (COGDC) is described in this paper. The rules for competition disallow devices designed solely steering. Equipment has been disqualified having steering handles, crown compensators, and other lever systems. However, the do allow tie-rod linkage use springs dampening caster flutter. chair paper exploits physical properties wheeled vehicles to achieve control on track. This effective, because turning only required one direction. Three such wheelchairs have developed were used at Paralympics Seoul, Korea, October 1988.
