Uncertainty analysis for wheelchair propulsion dynamics.
Wheelchair propulsion kinetic measurements require the use of custom pushrim force/moment measuring instruments which are not currently commercially available. With the ability to measure pushrim forces and moments has come the development of several dynamic metrics derived for analyzing key aspects of wheelchair propulsion. This paper presents several of the equations used to calculate or deri...
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 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 کاملBiomechanical analysis of wheelchair propulsion for various seating positions.
The pattern of propulsion was investigated for five male paraplegics in six seating positions. The positions consisted of a combination of three horizontal rear-wheel positions at two seating heights on a single-purpose-built racing wheelchair. To simulate wheelchair propulsion in the laboratory, the wheelchair was mounted on high rotational inertia rollers. For three trials at each seating pos...
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...
