Aim Boccia is a precision sport that requires excellent coordination and control of
movements. Eligible impairments for this sport such as ataxia, hypertonia and athetosis …

Repetitive loading of the upper limb due to wheelchair propulsion plays a leading role in the
development of shoulder pain in manual wheelchair users (mWCUs). There has been …

Objective The aim of this study was to compare handrim wheelchair propulsion technique
between individuals with spinal cord injury with and without shoulder pain. Design A cross …

The purpose of this study was to determine shoulder joint reaction forces and muscle
moments during 2 speeds (1.3 and 2.2 m/s) of wheelchair propulsion and to investigate the …

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 …

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

Objective To examine whether differences in propulsion technique as a function of
intraindividual variability occur as a result of shoulder pain and physical activity (PA) level in …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether athletic and nonathletic manual
wheelchair users (MWU) display differences in kinetic and kinematic variables during daily …

Introduction Despite the increased interest in indoor wheelchair sports in many countries,
research on the effect of floor coverings on sports performance is limited. Currently, there are …

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 …
