Abstract:

Standard modifications of active wheelchairs are commonly performed, but they often do not take into account the individual needs of dancers. The presented article aims to propose the optimization and personalization of the Quickie Argon Ti dance wheelchair for a specific subject. A visualization of a personalized dance wheelchair was created, abiding by the dimensional frame. The quality of the performance of physically disabled individuals in sports dancing on wheelchairs is significantly influenced by its construction and parameters.

Abstract:

This study examined time efficiency in wheelchair locomotive activities among four different wheelchairs propelled by elders with arms and/or legs. Sixteen elder manual wheelchair users propelled her/his own wheelchair and three wheelchairs (the main drive-axis wheels positioning in front, middle, and rear, respectively) in the test of seven wheelchair locomotive activities of daily living. A Mixed-Model ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test (p < .05) were employed to determine the time efficiency among four wheelchairs and three groups. The results demonstrated better time efficiency resulted

Abstract:

Wheelchair sports have a tendency to depend on the performance of wheelchairs, and the weight reduction of wheelchairs made of various alloys has helped improve the performance of players. Some players have mentioned, however, that the operability and riding comfort of competition wheelchair have been affected by changing the wheelchair materials; stiffness and weight are considered to be related to operability and riding comfort. In this experiment, we installed some weights on the center of the mass of a competitive wheelchair made of magnesium alloy to be the same mass of a wheelchair made

Abstract:

Wheelchair is an essential tool for people with disabilities, enabling them to move around independently and participate fully in society. They come in different types, such as manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, sports wheelchairs, and pediatric wheelchairs among others. Certain types of disabilities such as Monoplegia, Hemiplegia, Paraplegia, and Quadriplegia pose difficulties in using conventional power wheelchairs. To overcome these hurdles and provide ease to differently-abled individuals, an Advance Monitoring and Assistive Wheelchair (AMAW) is proposed in this work. The Prototype inc

Abstract:

Wheelchair sports are recognized as an international sport, and research and support are being promoted to increase the competitiveness of wheelchair sports. For example, an electromyogram can observe muscle activity. However, it is generally used under controlled conditions due to the complexity of preparing the measurement equipment and the movement restrictions imposed by cables and measurement equipment. It is difficult to perform measurements in actual competition environments. Therefore, in this study, we developed a method to estimate myoelectric potential that can be used in competitiv

Differences in psychological well-being between participants in wheelchair sport with congenital ( n = 50) and acquired ( n = 43) disabilities were examined.

Analysis showed that the group with acquired disabilities had a more positive general mood, higher self-esteem and mastery, and lower trait anxiety than the group with congenital disabilities. This suggests that sports participants in wheelchairs who acquired their disabilities later in life have more positive scores on psychological well-bei

Manual wheelchair (MWC) users are exposed to whole-body vibrations (WBVs) during propulsion. Vibrations enter the MWC structure through the wheels’ hub, propagate according to the MWC dynamical response, and finally reach the user’s body by the footrest, seat, backrest, and handrims. Such exposure is likely to be detrimental to the user’s health and a source of discomfort and fatigue which could, in daily life, impact users’ social participation and performance in sports. To reduce WBV exposure, a solution relies on MWC dynamical response modelling and simulation, where the model could indeed

Abstract:

Sports serve people with disabilities as a form of rehabilitation. Sporting activity is a health-promoting behavior choice and a chance to achieve the best possible sports results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intensity of health behaviors in people practicing wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby and para-rowing. The study encompassed 176 athletes with disabilities, aged 19 to 49 (mean age 34.41 ± 8.56), from all over Poland. Men accounted for 83.5% of the respondents. They all had a significant degree of disability and used wheelchairs in their daily lives. The authors used Ju

Abstract:

Seventeen individuals (ages 11–30 years), all wheelchair users, were classified as active or sedentary. Peak mechanical power, heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were determined during continuous, incremental all-out arm ergometry. Subjects were asked to wheel on an oval track at prescribed speeds, and one month later they repeated this task. All subjects could distinguish among prescriptions, as judged from HR and wheeling velocities. However, the active subjects chose higher speeds (by 0.8–1.3 m/s), a wider range of speeds, and could better distinguish among sequential R
