During manual wheelchair (MWC) locomotion, the user's upper limbs are subject to heavy
stresses and fatigue because the upper body is permanently engaged to propel the MWC …

Background: Shoulder loading during manual wheelchair propulsion (WCP) contributes to
the development of shoulder pain in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Objective: To …

The purpose of this RESNA Position Paper is to provide evidence from the literature and
share typical clinical applications supporting the application of ultralight manual wheelchairs …

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 …

Background Up to 80% of wheelchair users are affected by shoulder pain. The Clinical
Practice Guidelines for preservation of upper limb function following spinal cord injury …

Objective To identify whether motor skill-based training improves wheeling biomechanics in
older adults and whether transfer or retention occurs. Design Randomized controlled trial …

Several aspects of the design and configuration of manual wheelchairs have been indicated
as factors that influence the biomechanics of the upper limbs during manual propulsion …

Objective/Background: To describe a structured, short-term, transfer training intervention for
full-time pediatric wheelchair users, investigate the impact of training on transfer skills, and …

Background Motor learning of appropriate manual wheelchair propulsion is critical, as
incorrect technique elevates risk for upper extremity pain. Virtual reality simulators allow …

Full time manual wheelchair users are at high risk for develo** upper limb injuries and
pain due to their reliance on the upper limbs to perform a wide variety of functional activities …
