Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
This study aims to evaluate the degree of physical burden required for descending a vertical slope using existing slope gradients in a self-propelled wheelchair. Evaluation was performed using sensory evaluation, motion electromyogram testing, and measurement of operating speed. Subjects were healthy university students and examined using an outdoor wooden test slope.
