Compensatory strategies during manual wheelchair propulsion in response to weakness in individual muscle groups: A simulation study.
BACKGROUND The considerable physical demand placed on the upper extremity during manual wheelchair propulsion is distributed among individual muscles. The strategy used to distribute the workload is likely influenced by the relative force-generating capacities of individual muscles, and some strategies may be associated with a higher injury risk than others. The objective of this study was to u...
متن کاملCompensatory strategies during normal walking in response to muscle weakness and increased hip joint stiffness.
Compared to young adults, older adults exhibit a slower walking speed, smaller step length, shorter swing phase time and decreased range of motion in their lower extremity joints. The underlying mechanisms causing these gait adaptations is not well understood, with various musculoskeletal parameters being put forth as contributing factors, including increased joint stiffness and decreased isome...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Bilateral Symmetry During Manual Wheelchair Propulsion
Studies of manual wheelchair propulsion often assume bilateral symmetry to simplify data collection, processing, and analysis. However, the validity of this assumption is unclear. Most investigations of wheelchair propulsion symmetry have been limited by a relatively small sample size and a focus on a single propulsion condition (e.g., level propulsion at self-selected speed). The purpose of th...
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 کاملCoupling of breathing and movement during manual wheelchair propulsion.
The hypothesis of this study was that stable coordination patterns may be found both within and between physiological subsystems. Many studies have been conducted on both monofrequency and multifrequency coordination, with a focus on both the frequency and phase relations among the limbs. In the present study, locomotor-respiratory coupling was observed in the maintenance of small-integer frequ...
