In addition to being used by people with disabilities, wheelchairs are also used by hospital patients, seniors, and people at risk of falling while standing. Before the existence of wheelchairs for seniors, they must have been designed with anthropometric chairs. The use of anthropometric chairs for wheelchair design is not without reason.

A Brief Explanation About Wheelchair
Wheelchairs are a tool for people with disabilities to be able to move from one place to another. In general, wheelchairs are divided into 2 (two), namely manual wheelchairs and motor-driven wheelchairs. Meanwhile according to Shepard wheelchairs are divided into 4 (four), namely manual wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs for sports, motor-driven wheelchairs, and motor-driven wheelchairs for sports.
The wheelchairs that exist today have gone through an ergonomic process based on the dimensional shape of the human body. Based on iso 7176-5 recommendations, the recommendations for the body position of wheelchair users are in the form of, maximum length 1300mm, width 700mm, total height 100mm, etc. Many things must be measured and adjusted to the dimensions of the human body, so to make these measurements cannot be careless.
Moreover, the purpose and users of wheelchairs also need to be considered, such as wheelchairs for patients, the elderly, or for sports. Thus, to make a wheelchair based on its needs, precise and precise measurements with anthropometric chairs are needed.

An anthropometric chair is a chair that serves to measure the dimensions of the human body. Simply put, the Anthropometric Chair helps us measure anthropometric dimensions. The anthropometric data will be used for reference in making ergonomic products such as office chairs, factory tools, workbenches, wheelchairs, and so on. Thus, anthropometric chairs are related to the importance of using ergonomic principles in making mass products.
There are several reasons regarding the importance of anthropometric chairs for the manufacture of a product, namely it can increase product accuracy and comfort, save time in measurements, and minimize the occurrence of errors in measurements.
