Abstract
Anthropometric data of Nigerian paraplegics was used to design wheel chair for the paraplegics. This was done by developing suitable software using Visual Basic, AutoCAD, Access and Corel- Draw programs. The software developed is capable of designing an ergonomically viable wheelchair for any category of paraplegic using their anthropometric data within 2 minutes.
