Hand-rim wheelchair propulsion capacity during rehabilitation
This paper describes the course of wheelchair propulsion capacity (WPC) during rehabilitation of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and its relationship with personal and injury characteristics. We investigated 132 subjects with SCI (37 with tetraplegia) at the start of active rehabilitation (t1), 3 months later (t2), and at the end of clinical rehabilitation (t3). WPC was measured as the ma...
متن کاملEstimating Hand-rim Force of Wheelchair Propulsion Using Portable Sensors
Shoulder pain and injury are highly prevalent among manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI) [18]. The consequences of upper extremity (UE) pain are significant because manual wheelchair users rely on their arms for mobility and independence. Specific biomechanical parameters of wheelchair propulsion such as cadence, magnitude of force, and pattern of the hand during the no propuls...
متن کاملIndividual muscle contributions to push and recovery subtasks during wheelchair propulsion.
Manual wheelchair propulsion places considerable physical demand on the upper extremity and is one of the primary activities associated with the high prevalence of upper extremity overuse injuries and pain among wheelchair users. As a result, recent effort has focused on determining how various propulsion techniques influence upper extremity demand during wheelchair propulsion. However, an impo...
متن کاملWheelchair Propulsion Analysis Using Quaternions
Mathematics requires three markers to define a local coordinate system to calculate rotations in three dimensions (3D), as three coordinates are necessary to specify the orientation of a rigid body with respect to a fixed set of space axes. However, it is not uncommon in wheelchair literature to find papers (Veeger, et al., 1991) that used only two markers to define segment rotation in three di...
متن کاملAnalysis of vibrations induced during wheelchair propulsion.
Little is known about how dynamic acceleration affects wheelchair-rider comfort. The current study was to test both the operation of an instrumented wheelchair by a wheelchair user over a Simulated Road Course (SRC) and the operation of the same instrumented wheelchair during normal daily activities (a field test) by test subjects. Sixteen subjects participated in the protocol. A SRC allowed co...
