Supplementary code and videos for publication "A slanted castor wheel enables pushing manual wheelchairs from the side to improve social interaction".

This repository contains the supplementary S2 files and supplementary videos S3-5.

S2 File. Experimental data and the MATLAB code for calculations of castor wheel.

CastorModel

Contains Matlab code for the simulation of the castor wheel and the generation of figures comparing simulations to experimental results. This code relies on the functions folder. To run the code and generate the results figure presented in the paper, run the main.m file.

Data

Contains experimental data of the castor wheel on the treadmill, organized by collection date.

Functions

Contains functions used by CastorModel code.

Rolling resistance

Contains Matlab code to compute the rolling resistance of the castor wheel on the treadmill. The value of the computed rolling resistance is used in the CastorModel.

S3 Video. Video of the control wheelchair on the treadmill.

The video contains the control conditions, where the wheelchair was pulled using a cable while rolling on a treadmill.

S4 Video. Video of the test wheelchair on the treadmill.

The video contains the test condition, where the wheelchair with a slanted castor wheel was pulled using a cable attached to the push bar while rolling on a treadmill.

S5 Video. Video of the wheelchair during outdoor use with an occupant.

The video demonstrates how a modified wheelchair could be used outdoors on an uneven path, allowing the occupant and caregiver to walk side by side.
