Test method for empirically determining inertial properties of manual wheelchairs. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(1):51–62. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.03.0045 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.03.0045JSP Study Aim – Design and study a method for empirically measuring inertia properties of manual wheelchairs. Relevance – Results will improve and generate new studies on wheelchair performance, especially during turning maneuvers, in which inertia is important.

Spring-loaded turntable for measuring inertial properties of irregularly shaped rigid bodies. – Calculated wheelchair mass and center of mass from static force measurements using load cells. Used Newton-Euler approach. – Determined moment of inertia about vertical axis from natural frequency of system in simple harmonic motion. – Calibrated iMachine to eliminate effects of platform components on measurement error.
