The support of lower part of chest that is against the gravity has the effect to reduce the pressure by sitting on the wheelchair. Moreover, it is possible to control the movement of the body trunk by little power by using that support. Therefore, it is very useful for the users of electric wheelchair, especially neuromuscular disease patients to coordinate such a support condition. Then, we evaluated the sense for which neuromuscular disease patients used the space. As a result of the overall support approach to electric wheelchairs for neuromuscular patients, they felt the electric wheelchairs to be the part of the bodies. Normal person rotates the body when he passes the width 1.3 times or less the width of his body in general. The patients that have neuromuscular disease selected the width about 1.3 times the width of their electric wheelchairs when they judged the width that they could pass driving their electric wheelchairs.
