Abstract
As for the current spread type wheelchair, a bearing surface and the back have a weak point to break posture to sheet. Therefore, in this study, I suggest a wheelchair of home use such as wood or paper that considered elements such as the touch or maintenance of posture for main material charges in natural material. At first, about the touch, I carried out a use experiment to a person who experienced wheelchair use and a person of assistance. The material to use from the result decided that I boiled a beech, cork, a gimlet, paper string. I made a seat a fixed model about maintenance of posture. In addition, I made it six of them to be flexible among families. Turning in small space was enabled by this. And a person who experienced wheelchair use and a person of assistance really use it, and it was got evaluation to be flexible that feel was good.
