Introduction[edit | edit source]

Manual wheelchair propulsion, both in daily use and sports use is being increasingly studied, incorporating physiological, engineering and biomechanical perspectives with a focus towards ergonomics and injury mechanisms, especially the phenomena of overuse to the upper extremity. [1][2] Through a synchronised analysis of the movement pattern, Insight into force generation pattern and muscular activity pattern in hand rim wheelchair propulsion dynamics of people with a disability with various levels of physical activity and functional potential have been developed through lab based, synchronised analysis of the movement pattern. [2]
