N2 - <p>Supplementary code and videos for publication "A slanted castor wheel enables pushing manual wheelchairs from the side to improve social interaction".</p><p>This repository contains the supplementary S2 files and supplementary videos S3-5.</p><p><br></p><h2>S2 File. Experimental data and the MATLAB code for calculations of castor wheel.</h2><p><strong>CastorModel</strong></p><p>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 <code>functions</code> folder. To run the code and generate the results figure presented in the paper, run the <code>main.m</code> file.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Data</strong></p><p>Contains experimental data of the castor wheel on the treadmill, organized by collection date.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Functions</strong></p><p>Contains functions used by <code>CastorModel</code> code.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Rolling resistance</strong></p><p>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 <code>CastorModel</code>.</p><p><br></p><h2>S3 Video. Video of the control wheelchair on the treadmill.</h2><p>The video contains the control conditions, where the wheelchair was pulled using a cable while rolling on a treadmill.</p><p><br></p><h2>S4 Video. Video of the test wheelchair on the treadmill.</h2><p>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.</p><p><br></p><h2>S5 Video. Video of the wheelchair during outdoor use with an occupant.</h2><p>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.</p>
