Designing an Application to Assist Wheelchair Users in Sports Activities through Image Recognition and Interactive Feedback

According to the World Health Organization, there are over one billion individuals globally relying on wheelchairs for daily activities, with this number continuously rising. Prolonged dependence on upper body movement predisposes individuals to risks such as muscle fatigue, shoulder pain, posture issues, and potential muscle imbalances. This study addresses the health needs of wheelchair users by designing a sports system named standpoint, WEAPP analyzes the limb conditions of wheelchair users, ensuring that shoulder pressure remains within acceptable limits to avoid excessive burden on their bodies while providing effective exercise. WEAPP is not only designed specifically for wheelchair users but also incorporates social features, enabling users to exercise together with friends. WEAPP aims to enhance the health status of wheelchair users, thereby increasing their sense of well-being and self-esteem.
