Seat height in handrim wheelchair propulsion.
To study the effect of seat height on the cardiorespiratory system and kinematics in handrim wheelchair ambulation, nine non-wheelchair users participated in a wheelchair exercise experiment on a motor-driven treadmill. The subjects conducted five progressive exercise tests. After an initial try-out test, four tests were performed at different standardized seat heights of 100, 120, 140, and 160...
متن کاملWrist motion in handrim wheelchair propulsion.
Prevalence rates of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in the wheelchair user population are high. One of the possible causes of CTS in this population is the movement pattern of the wrist during handrim wheelchair propulsion, which could include large wrist joint angles and wrist/finger flexor activity. Combined with the repetitive character of the movement, this could, in time, be detrimental to th...

متن کاملInfluence of Handrim Wheelchair Propulsion Training in Adolescent Wheelchair Users, A Pilot Study
Ten full-time adolescent wheelchair users (ages 13-18) completed a total of three propulsion trials on carpet and tile surfaces, at a self-selected velocity, and on a concrete surface, at a controlled velocity. All trials were performed in their personal wheelchair with force and moment sensing wheels attached bilaterally. The first two trials on each surface were used as pre-intervention contr...
متن کاملIs Synchronous Handcycling Less Straining than Handrim Wheelchair Propulsion?
INTRODUCTION The upper extremities especially the shoulders are at serious risk for overuse in handrim wheelchair users. It has been shown that upper extremity complaints frequently occur within the wheelchair user population [1]. However, physical activity and an active lifestyle are important to maintain general fitness and to prevent long term health problems. Because handrim wheelchair prop...
