To provide an electric wheelchair facilitating an operation method, capable of safely and smoothly traveling, and having an expected rehabilitation effect optimum especially for a user having a weak stepping function, and a method for driving the electric wheelchair.SOLUTION: An electric wheelchair with a rehabilitation function by pedal stepping operation is driven by superposing at a selected rate, an output signal of a pedal driving sensor for detecting a quantity of pedal stepping of rehabilitation on an electric wheelchair driving signal which an operator operates and instructs (for instance, joystick operation). The electric wheelchair includes a function of guiding stepping operation of a user having a weak stepping function by adding a function of auxiliary drive of the rotation of stepping pedals. A method for driving the electric wheelchair is also provided.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】操作方法が簡単で、かつ安全で円滑な走行が可能で、特に足踏み機能の弱い利用者に最適なリハビリテーション効果が期待できる 電動車椅子及び電動車椅子の駆動方法を提供する。【解決手段】ペダル足踏み動作によるリハビリテーション機能を備えた電動車椅子にあって、リハビリテーションのペダル足踏み量を検出するペダル駆動センサの出力信号を、運転者が操作指示(たとえばジョイスティック操作)する電動車椅子駆動信号に指定割合で重畳させて上記電動車椅子の駆動をさせるとともに、更に足踏みペダルの回転の補助駆動する機能を付加して足踏み機能の弱い利用者の足踏み動作を誘導する機能を備えたことを特徴とする電動車椅子とその駆動方法。【選択図】図2
