1. An interface apparatus for manipulating a wheelchair, comprising:

  • a pair of two-way sliding mechanisms, each being configured with a base and a sliding sleeve in a manner that the sliding sleeve, having at least one physiological sensor disposed therein, is mounted on the base while enabling the same to slide in a first direction and a second direction, capable of using a closed bio-potential circuit formed by the use of the physiological sensors of the two two-way sliding mechanisms to detect a physiological status and thus generating a physiological status signal accordingly;

    a pair of manipulation sensors, mounted respectively on the pair of two-way sliding mechanisms for detecting the sliding status of their corresponding sliding sleeve and thus generating a sliding status signal accordingly; and

    a control unit, electrically connected to the pair of manipulation sensors and each physiological sensor, for processing the sliding status signal and the physiological status signal so as to correspondingly generate a power control signal and a bio signal accordingly.
