手動輪椅為行動不便的人們提供了一個方便且經濟的行動工具。但在有關傳統手動輪椅的推進生理學的研究則顯示了傳統手動輪椅以手直接轉動輪環以達到驅動及操控輪椅目的的方式並不是十分的完善。本研究的目的即是發展新型手動輪椅以改善傳統輪椅在驅動效率與運動傷害方面的問題。
本文建立了新型輪椅的設計流程圖。針對使用姿勢、輪子配置與上肢運動模式列出可行的方案，並建立評估標準，選擇較佳的方案。其中將上肢對於新型手動輪椅所行使的動作分為上肢驅動模式與上肢操控模式兩種。在確立上肢運動模式後，建立設計規格表。對輪椅的各組成部份提出可行的設計方案，將各設計方案經過篩選與組合提出較佳的新型輪椅設計。最後選擇一設計方案，做出尺寸規劃與分析。

Wheelchair provided people, whose act is inconvenient, a comfortable and economic moving means. The research, about the physiology of wheelchair, says that, the way of wheelchair using hands to move wheel rim in order to propel and control aim is not much perfect. The aim of the research is to develop new-pattern-wheelchair that can improve the problem of efficiency of propulsion and injure of sport coming from traditional wheelchair.

The research set up the desing-process of new-mode wheelchair. According using posture, disposition and upper-limbs-activity-mode, we list feasible program, and establish the stander of assess, than choosing the better programs. In the research, upper-limbs-activity-mode is consisting by upper-limbs-propulsion-mode and upper-limbs-control-mode. After setting up upper-limbs-activity-mode, we establish design specification. We provide feasible design-program for each part of wheelchair. After sifting and combining all kinds of program, we offer better designs of new-mode wheelchair. After all, we choose one program, and work out size-plan and analysis.
