Speed and physiological cost index of hemiplegic patients pedalling a wheelchair with both legs.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether hemiplegic patients can propel a leg-pedalling wheelchair and whether it is easier and faster for them to pedal the wheelchair using both legs alternately than to propel an ordinary wheelchair with their unaffected hand and leg. DESIGN Within-subject comparison. SUBJECTS Subjects comprised 10 hemiplegic in-patients (8 males, 2 females), aged 63.7 (SD 12.7) yea...
متن کاملDesign and Modification of One Arm Driven Manual Hemiplegic Wheelchair
This paper presents design modification to the existing standard wheelchair by incorporating an improved propulsion system and also braking and tilting systems that allow its full control with only one hand. The proposed design has the propulsion system with a chain drive powered through a four-bar linkage driven by the main handle. The desired direction of motion is obtained by moving the leve...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولPhysiological responses of wheelchair athletes at percentages of top speed.
OBJECTIVE Wheelchair athletes often select a percentage of their top speed (%TS) to determine training intensity. The aim of the study was to determine whether choosing a %TS corresponds to the physiological concept of relative exercise intensity (% peak oxygen uptake: %VO2 peak) and to examine selected physiological and metabolic responses of a group of wheelchair athletes to 60 minutes' exerc...
متن کاملOptimal Traction Control In A Wheelchair With Legs And Wheels
We propose a proof-of-concept prototype wheelchair with legs for people with motor disabilities with the objective of demonstrating the feasibility of a completely new approach to mobility. Our prototype system is a vehicle equipped with powered wheels and legs and is capable of traversing uneven terrain and circumventing obstacles such as steps and ditches. The design combines the advantages o...
