Journal ArticleDOI
Wheelchair pushrim kinetics: body weight and median nerve function.
TL;DR: This study found subject weight to be related to pushrim forces and median nerve function and it may be possible to prevent median nerve injury in manual wheelchair users.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manual wheelchair pushrim biomechanics and axle position
TL;DR: Specific biomechanical parameters known to correlate with median nerve injuries were found to be related to axle position relative to the shoulder and can improve propulsion biomechanics and likely reduce the risk of injury.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wrist kinematics and indicators of carpal tunnel syndrome during manual wheelchair propulsion
TL;DR: Analysis found significantly higher peak wrist flexion for MWU who demonstrated CTS via the nerve conduction study, suggesting it may be prudent to instruct MWUs to avoid extremes of wrist extension.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Comparison of propulsion kinetics and forearm EMG between two wheelchair pushrim designs
TL;DR: The electromyographic activity of forearm muscles and pushrim forces were compared between a standard and an ergonomic wheelchair pushrim for a group of non-impaired subjects propelling at two and four miles per hour.
