The aim of this article is to provide the reader with a state-of-the-art review on biomechanics
in hand rim wheelchair propulsion, with special attention to sport-specific implications …

Over 50 percent of manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI) are likely to
develop upper-limb pain and injury. The majority of studies related to pain have implicated …

BACKGROUND: Manual wheelchair users rely heavily on their upper limbs for independent
mobility which likely leads to a high prevalence of shoulder pain and injury. The goal of this …

The glenohumeral joint is remarkable for its lack of bony constraint. Soft tissues, such as
muscles, ligaments, the capsule, and the labrum, are primarily responsible for maintaining …

Optimizing mobility performance in wheelchair court sports (basketball, rugby and tennis) is
dependent on a combination of factors associated with the user, the wheelchair and the …
