Advancement in Stretcher and Wheelchair – A Review
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
In a present day scenario, it is a very serious issue for handlingof patients in critical as well as normal conditions. Both hospital staff and patients have to face problems like stresses which are produced in the body. Mobility aids are used to transfer the patient from one place to another. Most commonly used mobility aids are wheelchair and stretcher. But these devices also hold various problems due to the reason that they are not much modified. Understanding all these issues regarding mobility aids and introducing a better design will be a great help to medical field. This paper reviews the various areas of development about mobility aids for the comfort of both patient and hospital staff.
