This allows the user to power the wheelchair with a stronger,\u00a0more ergonomic motion that will reduce the normal wear and tear on their shoulders caused by normal wheelchair use.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Our design team will integrate multi-gear capability with the existing RoWheel design. A low gear will allow the user to apply high torque to the wheel to make starting from rest and climbing hills easier. A high gear will allow for easy maintenance\u00a0of high speeds, while a normal 1:1 gear will allow for precise control and maneuverability. Based on customer feedback, we hope to make the low gear and high gear powered by a rowing motion while making the 1:1 gear powered\u00a0by a normal forward push.\u00a0We believe that this addition will take RoWheels to the next level and revolutionize wheelchairs forever.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wheelchairs have experienced little in the way of innovation in the decades\u00a0following its inception.\u00a0We are a team of Vanderbilt engineering students looking to\u00a0create additional functionality\u00a0in wheelchairs.
