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 کاملEffects of Visual Feedback-Induced Variability on Motor Learning of Handrim Wheelchair Propulsion
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that a higher intra-individual variability benefits the motor learning of wheelchair propulsion. The present study evaluated whether feedback-induced variability on wheelchair propulsion technique variables would also enhance the motor learning process. Learning was operationalized as an improvement in mechanical efficiency and propulsion technique, which are th...
متن کاملEffect of workload setting on propulsion technique in handrim wheelchair propulsion.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of workload setting (speed at constant power, method to impose power) on the propulsion technique (i.e. force and timing characteristics) in handrim wheelchair propulsion. METHOD Twelve able-bodied men participated in this study. External forces were measured during handrim wheelchair propulsion on a motor driven treadmill at different velocities and con...
