Wheelchairs are the most common assistive or mobility devices for enhancing mobility with dignity and can participate in community events and social activities. However, daily use exposes wheelchairs to assaults from various environmental and user factors. Wheelchair failures often result from exposure to extreme weather condition, topographic obstacles, user weight lack of proper care, bad & rough road. Wheelchair failures, such as broken casters, motor malfunction, and cracks in the frame, not only disrupt the users’ daily activities but also can cause various health problem like spinal cord injury, skin problem.
