摘要

There are many popular kind of sports such as Baseball, Football, Basketball, Cricket, Tennis, Badminton, Rugby, Golf, Athletics and so on. Among these sports, wheelchair-based competitions has been gaining attention in recent years and they are included in events such as Paralympic Games. Sports is a social phenomenon that enhance physical, psychological, mental, and social well-being. Also, it helps individuals adapt to society, develops motor skills, and supports personal growth. In this paper, we present the design of a Moving Omnidirectinal Four-wheels Plate (MOFP) wheelchair for playing badminton or other sports. The proposed MOFP wheelchair offers a new possibility for wheelchair users by enabling omnidirectional movement, including translational motion (movement without changing the direction), which was not possible with conventional wheelchairs. We developed a MOFP wheelchair test model and evaluated the relationship between the rotation of each wheel and the overall movement.
