Optimizing mobility performance in wheelchair court sports (basketball, rugby and tennis) is
dependent on a combination of factors associated with the user, the wheelchair and the …

Manual wheelchair propulsion places considerable physical demand on the upper extremity
and is one of the primary activities associated with the high prevalence of upper extremity …

The field of medicine continues to advance as new technologies emerge. These
technological advancements include the science of sports prostheses and wheelchairs, in …

BACKGROUND: The majority of manual wheelchair users will experience upper extremity
injuries or pain, in part due to the high force requirements, repetitive motion and extreme …

Objectives. To quantify the association between performance‐based manual wheelchair
propulsion tests (20 m propulsion test, slalom test, and 6 min propulsion test), trunk and …

Manual wheelchair propulsion has been linked to a high incidence of overuse injury and
pain in the upper extremity, which may be caused by the high load requirements and low …

BACKGROUND: Efficiency in manual wheelchair propulsion is low, as is the fraction of the
propulsion force that is attributed to the moment of propulsion of the wheelchair. In this study …
