Racing wheelchair roll stability while turning: a simple model.
Wheelchair racing is an important modality in the rehabilitation of people with mobility impairments; thus, it plays a significant role in the lives of many wheelchair users. This paper presents simple roll stability analyses for three- and four-wheeled rider/racing wheelchair systems during turning maneuvers. The results suggest that three-wheeled systems may be less stable than four-wheeled s...
متن کاملRacing wheelchair crown compensation.
This paper is concerned with the directional stability of racing wheelchairs on crown roads. Three types of crown compensators are described and evaluated: the push-pull, the push-push, and the pull-pull. It was found that the push-push and the push-pull types of compensators have the most desirable characteristics, and were, in general, safer than the pull-pull type. In addition, the equations...
متن کاملRacing wheelchair rear wheel alignment.
This technical note describes a time-saving device for aligning the rear wheels of a racing wheelchair. The newly-developed analog alignment device is compared to the now standard discrete alignment device. The analog alignment device is found to reduce the time needed to align the rear wheels by nearly 75 percent, while increasing the accuracy of the alignment. The device does not noticeably a...
متن کاملWheelchair racing sports science: a review.
Wheelchair racing science and the performance of athletes involved in wheelchair racing have developed rapidly in recent years. With increasing interest in this sport, the need arises to identify areas where further research is necessary and cooperation between individuals with various backgrounds is encouraged. Many of the problems facing investigators in this field require knowledge in severa...
متن کاملLocomotor-Respiratory Coupling in Wheelchair Racing Athletes: A Pilot Study
PURPOSE In wheelchair racing, respiratory muscles of the rib cage are concomitantly involved in non-ventilatory functions during wheelchair propulsion. However, the relationship between locomotor-respiratory coupling (LRC: the ratio between push and breathing frequency), respiratory parameters and work efficiency is unknown. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the LRC in ...
