How much effort does it take to push a 100 kg patient?

The required sustained force:
-
Manually pushing a patient in a wheelchair = 8 kg
-
Using the wheelchair mover = < 1 kg
Force required on a slope for manual-pushing is higher.
For more information on acceptable frequencies of sustained pushing of wheeled equipment over stated distances, refer to the Snook and Ciriello table
