The rehabilitation assistive device manufacturing sector is in booming development in China as a sunrise industry, with more intelligent and customized products tailor-made for people with disabilities, significantly improving the quality of their life. At a park in Guangzhou, the capital city of south China's Guangdong Province, Zhu Junbiao, an engineer of an intelligent technology company, is testing a new generation of smart wheelchairs. By moving the head and changing the gaze, the user can control the wheelchair to move forward, backward, turn and stop. He noted that the smart wheelchair was provided to athletes and visitors at the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games, which opened on Monday. The domestic market share of wheelchairs and walkers from Guangdong has reached as high as 50 percent or 60 percent, with export shares accounting for 70 percent of the national total. Wheelchairs have evolved from merely fulfilling basic mobility needs to embracing intelligence and customization. In Foshan City of Guangdong, a company is dedicated to making wheelchairs more suitable, more comfortable and more convenient for users. Zhang Jian, a resident of Foshan who participated in the triathlon competition at the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities, said he deeply feels the changes brought about by advancements in technology.
