Resumen

This study addresses the challenge of tracking the movement surroundings of wheelchair users, with the aim of providing healthcare professionals with quantifiable data on their daily activity. A monitoring system is presented that performs continuous,real-time tracking of cinematic and environmental variables, analyzing the effects of chair movement and external factors on the user’s functional status. The system integrates an IMU, two encoders and a humidity and temperature sensor in an electric wheelchair. To validate the system, tests have been conducted in various environments, such as ramps, abrupt turns, elevators and potholes, confirming its effectiveness. This robust and reliable device provides professionals with the necessary information about the specific context of each user, helping to improve rehabilitation treatments and, consequently, their life quality.
