Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints amongst wheelchair athletes. There
are many debated potential risk factors for shoulder pain in this population including …

This systematic review aimed to 1) verify bilateral symmetry assumption in manual
wheelchair (MWC) propulsion in daily-life and sports, and its relationship with injury risk and …

Background Manual wheelchair users rely on their upper limbs to provide independent
mobility, which leads to high muscular demand on their upper extremities and often results …

Motor learning and compensatory movement are important aspects of prosthesis training yet
relatively little quantitative evidence supports our current understanding of how motor control …

Objective To investigate the association between propulsion biomechanics, including
variables that describe smoothness of the applied forces, and shoulder pain in individuals …

Over the expanse of evolutionary history, humans, and predecessor Homo species, ran to
survive. This legacy is reflected in many deeply and irrevocably embedded neurological and …

Background Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal concerns in manual
wheelchair users including among athletes. However, there is a paucity of research …

Background Level and non-level transfers are essential tasks of daily living for wheelchair
users. Minimal research has examined the role of shoulder pain and fear of falling on …

Manual wheelchair propulsion places considerable repetitive mechanical strain on the
upper limbs leading to shoulder injury and pain. While recent research indicates that the …

Different mechanisms of force transmission have been developed for the movement of
wheelchairs, from the standard pushrim propulsion to the handbike. Contributing to this …
