Abstract/Summary
A person who uses a wheelchair for mobility needs a way to operate it with only one hand. This may be necessary if they lack functionality in one hand or prefer to use only one hand while operating the wheelchair. Even for users with two available hands, it is difficult to operate As of now, such wheelchairs are not widely available or easily accessible, yet these devices are crucial for improving the quality of life and mobility of many people. The goal of this project is to design a more viable and ergonomic solution for people who operate a wheelchair with one hand.
