Manual wheelchair biomechanics while overcoming various environmental barriers: A systematic review
T. Rouvier,A. Louessard,Emeline Simonetti,Samuel Hybois,Joseph Bascou,Charles Pontonnier,Hélène Pillet,Christophe Sauret +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a systematic review of the literature assessing the biomechanics of MWC users crossing various situations, which represent physical environmental barriers was conducted, and 34 articles were selected and classified according to the investigated environmental barriers: slope, cross-slope, curb, and ground type.
