Motion analysis of wheelchair propulsion movements in hemiplegic patients: effect of a wheelchair cushion on suppressing posterior pelvic tilt
[Purpose] This study sought to ascertain whether, in hemiplegic patients, the effect of a wheelchair cushion to suppress pelvic posterior tilt when initiating wheelchair propulsion would continue in subsequent propulsions. [Subjects] Eighteen hemiplegic patients who were able to propel a wheelchair in a seated position participated in this study. [Methods] An adjustable wheelchair was fitted wi...
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 کاملKinematic characterization of wheelchair propulsion.
Rehabilitation scientists and biomedical engineers have been investigating wheelchair propulsion biomechanics in order to prevent musculoskeletal injuries. Several studies have investigated wheelchair propulsion biomechanics; however, few have examined wheelchair propulsion stroke patterns. The purpose of this study was to characterize wheelchair propulsion stroke patterns by investigating join...
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...
متن کاملKinematics of sport wheelchair propulsion.
Eight international caliber wheelchair male athletes (3 basketball, 5 distance track) performed an all-out propulsion effort from a standing start for 10 seconds on a wheelchair ergometer. Comparisons between the basketball and track athletes on linear wheelchair and push rim velocity during the first 3 pushes and the peak value indicated that the basketball players had a significantly (p less ...
