DEVELOPING OF SELF RECLINING WHEELCHAIR (SRWC) was initiated only when we realized that the present market could not provide a self-reliable reclining wheelchair. Mainly our project aims on developing an independent working mechanism so that the person on the wheel doesn't require the help of a caregiver to recline the wheelchair. The present market can provide the reclining wheelchairs which require the help of a second person to recline it for the person on the wheel. This problem of all time assistance required for a paraplegic patient can be avoided by using our mechanism. Whenever a paraplegic patient requires the help of a care giver to lie down to a bed he either requires a crutches or the help of a caregiver, instead by depending on our self-reclining wheelchair (SRWC) the patient doesn't require the help of a care giver thus he himself can use the handle on the sides to recline the front and back rests. By developing SRWC we can also take into consideration that stretchers in the hospitals can be replaced by SRWC thereby reducing the space lost mainly in a government hospital of very limited space. Thus the SRWC provides a dual purpose medical support as a wheelchair as well as a stretcher. SRWC's as stretchers in the sense it can be used in simple transportation (i.e from consulting rooms to the labs or rooms concerned or to Xray rooms).Our main objective is to develop a reclining wheelchair which can also be used as an alternative for the stretchers in the hospitals.
