Consequently, these unexpected motions can hurt the human body, damage the wheelchair, and change the correct position of the user\u2019s pelvis. Many of the existing wheelchairs do not address all the needs of disabled people. The goal of this article is to develop an instrumented, dynamic seating system for people with extensor thrust using the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) tool in order to provide an efficient development sequence of the design tasks for three subsystems of the seat: the seat back, seat bottom, and footrest. This article provides a detailed application of the use of the DSM. It reveals that the design process of the three main systems can be executed concurrently with different teams having different specializations and proposes a method to minimize total design time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1063293x11420176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,10]],"date-time":"2011-10-10T11:44:58Z","timestamp":1318247098000},"page":"235-243","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Developing a Dynamic Wheelchair Using the Design Structure Matrix Method"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Othman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3G 1M8,"}]},{"given":"Nadia","family":"Bhuiyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3G 1M8"}]},{"given":"Linghua","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Assistive Technology & Environmental Access (CATEA), Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Product Design and Development","author":"Ulrich, K.T.","year":"2004","edition":"3"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Managing New product and Process Development: Text and Cases","author":"Clark, K.B.","year":"1993"},{"issue":"3","key":"atypb3","first-page":"292","volume":"48","author":"Browning, T.R.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Engineering Management"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TEM.1981.6448589"},{"issue":"1","key":"atypb5","first-page":"149","volume":"79","author":"Eppinger, S.D.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Harvard Business Review"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"The 24th RESNA Conference","author":"Zeltwanger, A.P."},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinbiomech.2006.04.006"},{"key":"atypb8","volume-title":"Development of Dynamic Seating System for High-Tone Extensor Thrust","author":"Patrangenaru, V.P.","year":"2006"},{"key":"atypb9","volume-title":"Design of Wheelchair Seating Systems for Users with High-tone Extensor Thrust","author":"Kitchen, J.","year":"2006"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejor.2009.03.040"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aei.2005.01.002"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/mnsc.44.8.1032"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cie.2007.12.013"},{"key":"atypb14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TEM.2004.839965"},{"key":"atypb15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/mnsc.43.3.276"},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/mnsc.43.8.1104"},{"key":"atypb17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09544820110055547"},{"key":"atypb18","volume-title":"A Method for Systems Design Using Precedence Relationships: An Application to Automotive Brake Systems (Working Paper No. 3208)","author":"Black, T.A.","year":"1990"},{"key":"atypb19","volume-title":"Managing the Integration Problem in Concurrent Engineering (Working Paper, No. 3594)","author":"McCord, K.R.","year":"1993"},{"key":"atypb20","volume-title":"Proceedings of the ASME Sixth International Conference on Design Theory and Methodology","author":"Pimmler, T.U."},{"key":"atypb21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actaastro.2009.09.004"}],"container-title":["Concurrent Engineering"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1063293X11420176","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1063293X11420176","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T14:48:27Z","timestamp":1777387707000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1063293X11420176"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,9]]},"references-count":21,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1063293X11420176"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1063293x11420176","relation":{},"ISSN":["1063-293X","1531-2003"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1063-293X","type":"print"},{"value":"1531-2003","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,9]]}}}
