Perception of spatial requirements for wheelchair locomotion in experienced users with tetraplegia.
This study focused on whether wheelchair users showed enhanced ability to estimate the space required for locomotion with familiar and unfamiliar wheelchairs. Tetraplegic participants, who lacked somatosensory input from the upper limbs and were unable to obtain information about the dimensions of a wheelchair from their hands, and able-bodied control participants made judgments of whether a do...
متن کاملDevelopment of an OpenSim shoulder model for manual wheelchair users with tetraplegia
INTRODUCTION Extended manual wheelchair use has been associated with repetitive strain injuries in the shoulder and has been identified as a contributing factor to upper limb pain experienced by manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI) [1]. Due to the nature of their SCI, individuals with tetraplegia (formerly quadriplegia) may be at an even greater risk for developing shoulder inj...
متن کاملUpper-limb fatigue-related joint power shifts in experienced wheelchair users and nonwheelchair users.
This paper evaluates power transfer or shifting across upper-limb segments, resulting from fatigue-inducing wheelchair propulsion. Nineteen manual wheelchair users (WCUs) and ten nonwheelchair users (NUs) participated in this study. Subjects propelled an instrumented wheelchair ergometer at a workload corresponding to 75% of the peak oxygen uptake attained during a maximal-graded exercise toler...
متن کامل101, Wrist joint motions and reaction forces in wheelchair users with paraplegia and tetraplegia during overground propulsion
Twenty-six wheelchair users with spinal cord injuries participated in this cross-sectional, repeated-measures study. The objective was to investigate differences in wrist joint forces and motions between users with paraplegia and tetraplegia during overground propulsion. A secondary objective was to evaluate group differences over surfaces and speeds experienced in the built environment. Partic...
متن کاملStrength training for wheelchair users.
Sedentary adult males with spinal lesions, all habitual wheelchair users, were allocated to exercise (n = 11) and control (n = 4) groups. A Cybex II dynamometer was used to assess peak power, average power, total work and muscular endurance for elbow flexion/extension, shoulder flexion/extension and shoulder abduction/adduction at five angular velocities, on recruitment and after eight and 16 w...
