- Test Plan 9/30/2014 P15007 Anti-Rollback Wheelchair 31
TestEngineering Requirement Test ergonomics of controls Component
life tests through theoretical analysisDesigned test life Test
force input to brake down an incline using force gauge. Use
wheelchair ramp on campus that is standard 1:12 slope to conduct
test. Grip force exerted by user to brake on decline Measure
wheelchair width with and without system installed, and compare. Do
this for the wheelchair in the folded state and in use state.
Increase of wheelchair width when in use; Component interference
when wheelchair is folded Test hold on incline with maximum rated
load for standard wheelchair. Force exerted by user to hold
position on incline Measure total additional weight from
installation of the systemTotal system weight Measure time it takes
to detach the system and revert to original wheelchair
configuration Time to revert to original configuration
