The article analyzes the dynamic aspects of driving a wheelchair equipped with a manual drive. The focus was both on the dynamics of the entire anthropotechnical system as well as on the dynamics of the human body. Moreover, based on the obtained conclusions, two alternative technical solutions for manual wheelchair drives have been proposed.
