Evaluation of four-wheel vehicle driven by lower limb with electric pedalling assistance for elderly people / Hokyoo Lee ... [et al.]

The idea of designing independent personalized mobility equipment for elderly is to improve the quality of life and improvised the care prevention system in the society. We proposed and designed a four-wheel type of electric power assistant for personal mobility in care prevention. The preliminary e...
