Resumen

Accessibility is an important aspect of the inclusion of people since the impact on them disinhibits a natural development in society. This article develops a design for a wheelchair with electromechanical elevation so that people can have a primary assistance vehicle and thus achieve independence when moving around. A chair design was proposed that is efficient when elevating and thus keeps the patient at a height where they want to be most comfortable; it complies with technical standards for safety and user protection, and it can extend the useful life of the chair, the designed structure shows ergonomics for the person, it can support the weight of the patient and the accessories that they may carry with them. Outstanding and positive results were observed and analyzed in this study.
