Abasebenzisi bezihlalo zabakhubazekile bangahlushwa izilonda zesikhumba noma izilonda ezibangelwa ukungqubuzana, ingcindezi, kanye nokucindezeleka kokucheba lapho isikhumba sabo sihlala sithintana nezinto zokwenziwa zesihlalo sabo sabakhubazekile. Izilonda zokucindezeleka zingaba yinkinga engapheli, ehlala isengozini yokutheleleka okukhulu noma umonakalo owengeziwe esikhumbeni. Ucwaningo olusha ku-International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, lubheka indlela yokusabalalisa umthwalo engasetshenziswa ngayo ngezifiso izihlalo zabakhubazekileukuze abasebenzisi babo bagweme izilonda ezinjalo zokucindezeleka.

USivasankar Arumugam, uRajesh Ranganathan, no-T. Ravi be-Coimbatore Institute of Technology eNdiya, baveza ukuthi wonke umuntu osebenzisa isihlalo sabakhubazekile uhlukile, uhlukile ngesimo somzimba, isisindo, ukuma, kanye nezinkinga zokuhamba. Ngakho-ke, impendulo eyodwa enkingeni yezilonda zokucindezeleka ayinakwenzeka uma bonke abasebenzisi bezihlalo zabakhubazekile bezosizwa. Izifundo zabo neqembu labasebenzisi abazithandelayo zembula, ngokusekelwe ekulinganisweni kwengcindezi, ukuthi ukwenza ngokwezifiso komuntu ngamunye kuyadingeka kumsebenzisi ngamunye ukuze kuncishiswe amandla okusika nokungqubuzana okuholela ezilondeni zokucindezeleka.

Iziguli ezinezihlalo zabakhubazekile ezichitha isikhathi eside zihleli, ngenxa yezinkinga ezahlukene zempilo ezifana nokulimala komgogodla (SCI), ukukhubazeka kwamalungu omzimba, i-tetraplegia, kanye ne-quadriplegia zisengozini yokuthola izilonda ezicindezelayo. Uma zihleli, cishe izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zesisindo somzimba womuntu zisakazeka ezinqeni nangemuva kwamathanga. Ngokuvamile abasebenzisi bezihlalo zabakhubazekile banemisipha enciphile kuleyo ngxenye yomzimba futhi ngakho-ke ikhono elincane lokumelana nokuguquguquka kwezicubu okwenza lezo zicubu zibe sengozini yokulimala okuholela ekukhuleni kwezilonda. Ama-cushion ajwayelekile ezihlalo zabakhubazekile ngenxa yesifo sabo esingekho eshalofini awanikezi ukwenziwa ngokwezifiso okufanele umsebenzisi othile wezihlalo zabakhubazekile ngakho-ke anikeza isivikelo esilinganiselwe kuphela ekuthuthukisweni kwezilonda ezicindezelayo.

Izilonda zokucindezeleka ziyinkinga yesithathu yezempilo ebiza kakhulu ngemva komdlavuza nesifo senhliziyo, ngakho-ke kunesidingo sokuthola izixazululo hhayi nje kuphela zokuzuzisa abasebenzisi bezitulo ezinamasondo ngokwabo, ngokusobala, kodwa nokugcina izindleko ziphansi kulabo basebenzisi kanye nezinhlelo zokunakekelwa kwempilo abathembele kuzo. Ithimba ligcizelela ukuthi indlela yesayensi yokwenza ngokwezifiso imicamelo nezinye izingxenye ezingasiza ekunciphiseni ukulimala kwezicubu kanye nokuvela kwezilonda iyadingeka ngokushesha. Umsebenzi wabo unikeza uhlaka lwezinkinga ezikhona kubasebenzisi bezitulo ezinamasondo kumongo wezilonda zokucindezeleka. Bathemba ukuthi indlela yesayensi ekugcineni izoholela endleleni efanele yokwenza ngokwezifiso imicamelo yezitulo ezinamasondo kanye nama-padding afanele umsebenzisi ngamunye wesitulo samasondo.
