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 …

Daily wheelchair ambulation is seen as a risk factor for shoulder problems, which are
prevalent in manual wheelchair users. To examine the long-term effect of shoulder load from …

Regular use of prostheses is critical for individuals with lower limb amputations to achieve
everyday mobility, maintain physical and physiological health, and achieve a better quality …

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 …

Background Most manual wheelchair users with pediatric-onset spinal cord injury (SCI) will
experience shoulder pain or pathology at some point in their life. However, guidelines for …

Abstract Purpose Standard manual wheelchairs (MWCs) are inefficient and pushrim
propulsion may cause progressive damage and pain to the user's arms. We describe a …

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

Objective To investigate the postural and metabolic benefits a walker with adjustable elbow
support (LifeWalker [LW]) can provide for ambulation in population with impairment. The …

More than 80% of adult manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injuries will experience
shoulder pain. Females and those with decreased shoulder dynamics variability are more …

Manual wheelchair propulsion results in physical demand of the upper limb extremities that,
because of its repetitive nature, can lead to chronic pathologies on spinal cord injury …
