This "standing/sitting" convertible wheelchair helps individuals with lower limb mobility impairments and those in sports injury rehab by addressing the effects of prolonged sitting. The transition is powered by an "X"-shaped lifting structure, with hydraulic rods supporting the user's hips. Users can switch modes via physical buttons or a wearable sensor ring that controls the chair based on muscle relaxation. The device tracks body data in real-time through a mobile app. Its design combines sporty and futuristic aesthetics, breaking stereotypes of assistive devices.
