Accurately measuring physical activity and energy expenditure in persons with chronic
physical disabilities who use wheelchairs is a considerable and ongoing challenge …

Assessing physical activity (PA) in manual wheelchair users (MWUs) is challenging because
of their different movement patterns in comparison to the ambulatory population. The aim of …

Objective To describe the effect of robotic locomotor training (RLT) and activity-based
training (ABT) on cardiovascular indices during various physiological positions in individuals …

Objective To investigate the influence of strength values and fat mass on functional
independence of men with different spinal cord injury (SCI) levels. Design Cross-sectional …

Background: Comparative effectiveness research on wheelchairs available in low-resource
areas is needed to enable effective use of limited funds. Mobility on commonly encountered …

Purpose: To translate, culturally adapt and validate the Adapted Manual Wheelchair Circuit
(AMWC) into Brazilian-Portuguese. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Sixty-six men …

Context: There seems to be no consensus on which aspects better distinguish the different
levels of spinal cord injury regarding body composition, strength, and functional …

Energy expenditure has been proposed for the evaluation of rehabilitation treatments.
Traditionally it has been estimated by oxygen uptake and the use of spirometry. However …

Purpose: To determine whether the inclusion of three additional items improved the
discriminative capacity of the Adapted Manual Wheelchair Circuit (AMWC). Design: Cross …

Context: Strength training is one of the most common interventions employed to increase
functional independence during rehabilitation of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) …
