Abstract
A one-hand drive wheelchair with power assist mechanism is developed. We have proposed a manipulation mechanism with a triple ring and some assist functions. In this paper, the effect of the assist function compensating an increase of the running resistance is newly discussed The effectiveness of the assist functions is verified through experiments using a prototype, developed in our research group.
