The turning resistance and rolling resistance of a range of wheelchair wheels up to 200 mm in diameter were measured on three types of indoor surface. Rolling resistance values were found by measuring deceleration on a flat surface and also by direct measurement on a treadmill. The horizontal forces required to push the front wheels of a wheelchair over small step obstacles were also found. Measurements were made for a variety of front wheels and the relationship between the horizontal force, step height, load, and type compressibility was investigated.
对一系列直径达200毫米的轮椅车轮在三种类型的室内地面上的转动阻力和滚动阻力进行了测量。滚动阻力值通过在平坦表面上测量减速以及在跑步机上直接测量来确定。还测定了将轮椅前轮推过小台阶障碍物所需的水平力。对多种前轮进行了测量，并研究了水平力、台阶高度、负载和可压缩性类型之间的关系。
