The obstacles, especially level differences and ramps at housing and building make the manual wheelchair users' access to them difficult. The difficulty of negotiating them by a wheelchair depends on their figures, diameter of caster, and a wheelchair user's ability to push the hand-rims. So, we evaluated the difficulties of negotiating various types of level differences and ramps quantitatively, using the specially designed wheelchair equipped with torque meters and rotary encoders. With all data we obtained, we attempted to constitute quantitative scales indicate the reasonable height, shape, and gradient of level differences or ramps for wheelchair users of various physical abilities.
