Abstract
This paper describes the proposed front wheel unit for wheel chair using functional electrical stimulation driven by the lower limbs. EMG measurement result indicates that hamstring and quadriceps should be stimulated for FES cycling motion. Moreover, new type front wheel unit was designed for safety and practical use. In future, the method developed in this study will have to be checked widely by experiments.
