Abstract
According to World Health Organization report approximately 111 million people in the world needs a wheelchair. In order to solve this problem, around the world, are developed open-source products. The first phase of the present project includes the review of state-art and evaluation of similar design proposals around the world. As a result of a search for similar projects, we found some proposals that could be adapted to México, and we decided to analyze two of them; the first one is a proposal made of PVC pipes. The second proposal to analyze is an active-type wheelchair made of plywood. The goal of this first project phase is to reproduce both chairs with the objectives: Check if the open-source platform is clear and it is feasible to manufacture the wheelchairs in a different environment to where they have been designed and check the stability, comfort, and maneuverability.
