Abstract

A wheelchair is a wheeled chair for use as a mode of transportation by someone unable to walk due to sickness, accident, or disability. This thesis detail research into the development of modelling and control mechanisms for a multipurpose wheelchair that can be used as a mobile transporter for the elderly and disabled. The study aims to help people with physical disabilities in their lower extremities to transfer its body to car seats without the need for human assistance. Transferring a patient to the car seat is the most difficult obstacle for wheelchair users. Since not all public places cater to those who need less effort, especially wheelchair users, they must rely on the assistance of others. Given this case, wheel seats that can lift their seat height are needed. This study aims to propose a design of a Portable Lift Wheelchair that can ascend or descend a seat, making it easier for wheelchair users to transfer ts body to a car seat easier. The mechanism that developed the wheelchair system is made up of a manual wheelchair seat for positioning according to the height of the passenger seat in a certain car. The wheelchair user must rotate the mechanism rotation bar to adjust the wheelchair seat height. As a result, the wheelchair will be able to lift its seat upward parallel to the passenger seat.
