Abstract

Wheelchair is a chair with wheels used to move a person/patient from one location to another due to their inability to move. This may be due to the user/patient being physically disabled, weakness due to their disease or old age. Hence after they arrive back to or when they are moving away from their beds, there is a transition from wheelchair to bed or bed to wheelchair. This transition is tedious and is proved to be harmful to both the patient and the helper by many studies and surveys. A provision can be provided to convert the wheelchair into a bed using hydraulics. Hence this paper deals in detail with the making of such a wheelchair that can be converted to a bed or to any reclining positions depending on the comfort of the user/patient using simple hydraulics and mechanical linkages.
