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. 1) No problems were detected among subjects using wheelchairs on gradients such as 1/24, 1/21, and 1/18. 2) The 1/12 gradient standard places an excessive burden on wheelchair users.
