Leg pedalling wheelchairs have been developed for the purpose of retaining muscle forces and preventing bones from degenerating due to used legs of disabled persons. Not enough to pedal the wheelchair by their own muscles, it will be necessary to assist muscle forces. Electrical stimulations on legs to assist muscle forces were evaluated by using the wheelchair. At the staring high-voltage stimulation on quadreceps and hamstrings only could not move the chair on a plane surface, and a motor was used to assist the weakened muscles with composing control-system. Using a motor assist for weakened muscles, starting and driving slopes of wheelchair can be realized easily with low-voltage stimulation.
