Diseño Estructural de una Silla de Ruedas Eléctrica Plegable para una Persona con Problemas de Movilidad

In this work the structural design of a folding wheelchair is carried out considering the specific needs of a particular patient. First of all, a bibliographic review of different devices with similar characteristics is made, then the medical situation of the patient with hyperlordosis and muscular spasticity is detailed in order to know which are the actions and movements in which he has difficulty during his daily activities, and also each of the results of medical specialists in the subject are detailed; Then we proceed to design the folding electric wheelchair with the help of AutoCAD Mechanical 2018 and Autodesk Inventor Professional 2018 software, then the strength calculations of the materials are executed to ensure that the chair supports the mechanical stresses to which it will be exposed. Finally, a kinematic diagram is defined to ensure that the chair can be folded correctly. All this allows to obtain an ergonomic and aesthetic chair that meets the characteristics defined for the person in question.
