The effect of mass on the kinematics of steady state wheelchair propulsion in adults and children with spinal cord injury Bednarczyk, Janet H.
Abstract
A recent trend in wheelchair design has been the reduction of the mass of wheelchairs. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of mass on the kinematics of steady state wheelchair propulsion. The mass of test chairs (9.3 kg) was manipulated by mass additions (5 and 10 kg) in two, neurologically matched, groups (n=10) of adults and children with spinal cord injury. Three dimensional video analysis was used to determine the movement of upper body angles (elbow, shoulder, trunk, and shoulder abduction). Statistical analysis were multiple univariate, repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with significance set at adjusted p values
