Energy cost of propulsion in standard and ultralight wheelchairs in people with spinal cord injuries. (1/377)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Wheelchair- and subject-related factors influence the efficiency of wheelchair propulsion. The purpose of this study was to compare wheelchair propulsion in ultralight and standard wheelchairs in people with different levels of spinal cord injury. SUBJECTS: Seventy-four subjects (mean age=26.2 years, SD=7.14, range=17-50) with spinal cord injury resulting in motor loss (30 with tetraplegia and 44 with paraplegia) were studied. METHOD: Each subject propelled standard and ultralight wheelchairs around an outdoor track at self-selected speeds, while data were collected at 4 predetermined intervals. Speed, distance traveled, and oxygen cost (VO2 mL/kg/m) were compared by wheelchair, group, and over time, using a Bonferroni correction. RESULTS: In the ultralight wheelchair, speed and distance traveled were greater for both subjects with paraplegia and subjects with tetraplegia, whereas VO2 was less only for subjects with paraplegia. Subjects with paraplegia propelled faster and farther than did subjects with tetraplegia. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION: The ultralight wheelchair improved the efficiency of propulsion in the tested subjects. Subjects with tetraplegia, especially at the C6 level, are limited in their ability to propel a wheelchair.  (+info)

Bethlem myopathy: a slowly progressive congenital muscular dystrophy with contractures. (2/377)

Bethlem myopathy is an early-onset benign autosomal dominant myopathy with contractures caused by mutations in collagen type VI genes. It has been reported that onset occurs in early childhood. We investigated the natural course of Bethlem myopathy in five previously published kindreds and two novel pedigrees, with particular attention to the mode of onset in 23 children and the progression of weakness in 36 adult patients. Our analysis shows that nearly all children exhibit weakness or contractures during the first 2 years of life. Early features include diminished foetal movements, neonatal hypotonia and congenital contractures which are of a dynamic nature during childhood. The course of Bethlem myopathy in adult patients is less benign than previously thought. Due to slow but ongoing progression, more than two-thirds of patients over 50 years of age use a wheelchair.  (+info)

The effect of walking aids on exercise capacity and oxygenation in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (3/377)

BACKGROUND: high walking frames may improve exercise capacity in young patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We have assessed the effect of Zimmer, rollator and gutter frames on 6-min walking distance and on arterial oxygenation during exercise in elderly patients with COPD. METHODS: 27 out-patients (15 men) aged 70-82 (mean 75) years were recruited. Exclusions comprised: COPD exacerbation or oral steroid use within 6 weeks, confusional state, participation in a pulmonary rehabilitation programme and exercise limitation by other diseases. Subjects completed 6-min walk tests unaided and with the three frames on four separate days in random order 30 min after nebulized salbutamol (5 mg) and ipratropium (0.5 mg) and were accompanied by an investigator blinded to results of all other walk tests undertaken. Oxygen saturation (SaO2) was monitored by finger probe during exercise. Grouped t-tests were used to compare distances and reductions in SaO2. RESULTS: Unaided, the mean (SEM) 6-min walk distance was 210 (16) m and fall in oxygen saturation was 6.0 (1.1)%. Use of a rollator frame did not significantly affect either of these values. Using the Zimmer frame reduced the mean distance to 165 (13) m (t=5.2, P < 0.001 vs unaided walk) with an SaO2 fall similar to that recorded during the unaided walk. Using the gutter frame increased the mean distance to 234 (150) m (t=3. 1, P=0.004 vs unaided walk) and reduced the fall in SaO2 to 3.7 (0.8)% (t=2.3, P=0.03 vs unaided walk). CONCLUSIONS: gutter frames improve exercise capacity and SaO2 during exercise in elderly COPD patients who remain symptomatic on optimal therapy, whereas unwheeled Zimmer frames have a deleterious effect in such patients.  (+info)

Population based cost utility study of interferon beta-1b in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. (4/377)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost utility of interferon beta-1b in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. DESIGN: Population based cost utility model (healthcare perspective). Data on use of health services were obtained from case records and routine morbidity data and utility values from a EuroQol survey. Local and published costs were used. Effectiveness was modelled using data on relative risk reductions from a randomised trial of interferon beta-1b. SETTING: Tayside region, 1993-5. SUBJECTS: 132 ambulatory people with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cost per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Rate of relapse and proportion becoming wheelchair dependent over three years. RESULTS: The number needed to treat for 30 months to delay time to wheelchair dependence in one person by nine months was 18 (95% confidence interval 5 to 26). For every 18 people treated for 30 months, six relapses would be prevented, gaining 0.397 discounted QALYs. The cost per QALY gained was 1 024 667 pounds sterling (276 466 pounds sterling to 485 499 pound sterling). If treatment was restricted to patients attending neurology services, the number needed to treat was 14 (cost per QALY gained 833 pounds sterling 514 (161 358 pounds sterling to infinity)). The cost per QALY gained was not sensitive to changes in cost which took account of a societal perspective. CONCLUSIONS: The cost per QALY gained from interferon beta is high because of the high drug cost and modest clinical effect. Resources could be used more efficiently elsewhere.  (+info)

Sagittal static imbalance in myelomeningocele patients: improvement in sitting ability by partial and total gibbus resection. (5/377)

The progression of kyphosis in myelomeningocele is independent of skeletal growth and requires early operative correction and stabilization to prevent a loss of sitting ability. In severe cases, only vertebrectomy makes it possible to achieve correction, stability and skin-closure without tension. In 14 patients with myelomeningocele gibbus, kyphectomy was performed, removing two vertebral bodies on average. The average kyphosis angle decreased from 128 degrees to 81 degrees, enabling most of the patients to participate again in social life by restoring wheelchair mobility. Nevertheless, a significantly higher complication rate was found compared to other correctional operations, lengthening the average hospital stay to 41 days. Special problems arose from trophic disorders of the skin and soft tissue and from the dystrophic muscles below the level of neural malfunction. In three cases, kyphosis reappeared cranial to the fused segments, requiring ventral stabilization. With respect to increasing kyphosis angle, an early intervention should be aimed at. A secondary operation can be necessary, if surgery is performed without taking care of the growth potential.  (+info)

Seating and mobility considerations for people with spinal cord injury. (6/377)

For people with spinal cord injuries, the selection of a wheelchair and seating system involves many factors. This clinical perspective describes a model that includes consideration of the person, the wheelchair, the immediate environment between the person and the wheelchair, the intermediate environment of the home and work, and the community environment. The seated posture is examined biomechanically, and literature is reviewed that highlights the differences in the seated position of people with spinal cord injuries and people without spinal cord injuries. Reports regarding overuse injuries of the shoulder and wrists are discussed along with methods of relieving pressure at the buttock and seat interface. The impact that research findings should have on current clinical practice and the need for more research to provide evidence to either support or change current practice is discussed.  (+info)

Spina bifida children attending ordinary schools. (7/377)

From September 1971 to September 1973 a policy was actively followed in South Gloucestershire of placing spina bifida children in ordinary schools wherever possible. This was achieved successfully in 14 cases out of a possible 24. Special attention was paid to the selection of children and schools. The main contraindications to attendance at ordinary school were: below average intelligence, special perceptual problems, the need for intensive physiotherapy, and problem incontinence-particularly infaecal continence. Success often depended on special provisions-for example, transport, aids to mobility, peripatetic physiotherapists. Personal attendants (welfare assistants) could be allocated to each of the more severely handicapped children. The lack of facilities for handicapped pupils in comprehensive schools is a matter needing urgent review.  (+info)

Medical devices; effective date of requirement for premarket approval for three preamendment class III devices. Food and Drug Administration, HHS. Final rule. (8/377)

Wheeling strategies in manual wheelchair users and able-bodied individuals | ICORDWheeling strategies in manual wheelchair users and able-bodied individuals | ICORD
Studying variability in wheelchair propulsion allows for a greater understanding of the natural range of movements. Attaining a greater sense of this range of natural movements allows for increased confidence in the results of future wheelchair propulsion studies, since movements in this range would not be specifically attributed to the experimental condition. Understanding this variability in 10-minute trials might prove to be helpful in the future for wheelchair training purposes, considering that improvements can be identified with greater confidence if they are outside of the natural variation. Additionally, this study provides insight regarding whether the wheelchair movements observed in able-bodied individuals can be used to represent the movements of manual wheelchair users, which is helpful information if researchers plan to use able-bodied individuals in future wheeling studies relevant to individuals with SCI.. ...

Prevalence and Impact of Wheelchair Breakdowns on Fulltime Wheelchair UsersPrevalence and Impact of Wheelchair Breakdowns on Fulltime Wheelchair Users
Wheelchair repairs and associated adverse consequences can have a large impact on full time wheelchair users by decreasing independence and threatening health and safety. This cross sectional study evaluated the prevalence of wheelchair repairs during a 6 month period on 2213 wheelchair users. Consequences associated with repairs were also examined. Results indicate that 44.8% of the population required at least one repair in a 6 month period and 8.7% experienced an adverse event. Power wheelchairs were found to require significantly more repairs and users experienced significantly more adverse events compared to manual wheelchairs. It is important that wheelchair vendors and clinicians are aware of the high prevalence of repairs and adverse consequences in order to educate their clients on potential problems. In addition, mandatory enforcement of ANSI/RESNA standards may help to decrease the number of adverse consequences. ...

I would know. I became poorly and a wheelchair user in January 2008, at the age of 14, after a childhood full of problems that were never connected or explained. It took 10 months following becoming wheelchair bound to receive a diagnosis, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which came four days after my 15th birthday. I received my first manual wheelchair in March 2008. I struggled in the manual wheelchair, unable to propel myself thus dependent on someone to push me wherever I wanted to go; even if only a few inches backwards or forwards. I persevered like this, since I was almost completely bed bound anyway, for over three and a half years, until I moved house and started college. I was only well enough to go in for an hour a day, despite doing three A levels in the sciences, due to not having a suitable wheelchair, and due to my conditions. We had spoken to wheelchair services about a powerchair prior to moving, but our old house couldnt have been made wheelchair friendly at all, unless you knocked it ...

Wheelchair Seating: Peak Pressure Distribution in Young versus Elderly Healthy ControlsWheelchair Seating: Peak Pressure Distribution in Young versus Elderly Healthy Controls
Background: People may use a wheelchair when they need assistance with mobility. Some users have to remain seated in their wheelchair for most of their awake time and for a lot of activities. The need for a well fitted and supportive wheelchair is important and, for those who use the wheelchair for many hours, peak pressure distribution is of interest to prevent pressure ulcers and discomfort. Aim: To describe how high local peak pressures may be distributed over risk areas for pressure ulcers in different wheelchair settings. Methods: Two groups of healthy adults were recruited (40 elderly and 30 younger individuals). Two standard models of manual wheelchairs were used together with two types of wheelchair cushions. Results: The elderly group had a higher peak pressure over the ischial tuberosity and increased posterior pelvic rotation in the shaped seat cushion. Both groups had higher peak pressure over the trochanter in the shaped seat cushion. Peak pressure was also higher over the

Wheelchair - WikipediaWheelchair - Wikipedia
A self-propelled manual wheelchair incorporates a frame, seat, one or two footplates (footrests) and four wheels: usually two caster wheels at the front and two large wheels at the back. There will generally also be a separate seat cushion. The larger rear wheels usually have push-rims of slightly smaller diameter projecting just beyond the tyre; these allow the user to manoeuvre the chair by pushing on them without requiring them to grasp the tyres. Manual wheelchairs generally have brakes that bear on the tyres of the rear wheels, however these are solely a parking brake and in-motion braking is provided by the users palms bearing directly on the push-rims. As this causes friction and heat build-up, particularly on long downslopes, many wheelchair users will choose to wear padded wheelchair gloves. Manual wheelchairs often have two push handles at the upper rear of the frame to allow for manual propulsion by a second person, however many active wheelchair users will remove these to prevent ...

INTERPRETING JOYSTICK SIGNALS FOR WHEELCHAIR NAVIGATIONINTERPRETING JOYSTICK SIGNALS FOR WHEELCHAIR NAVIGATION
Existing wheelchairs are primarily useful to people whose mobility problems are not combined with limited fine motor control of their upper extremities or impaired visual perception. However, such combinations of mobility, motor control and perception problems are not uncommon [3]. Therefore, an intelligent wheelchair that can assist the user in reaching his/her destination by avoiding collisions would be useful for people with severe disability [1]. In this project, a supplementary controller has been developed, which sits between the joystick and the standard wheelchair motor controller. The supplementary controller, along with its sensor network, guides the chair to avoid the obstacles sensed in its immediate surroundings with a minimum of input from the wheelchair user [4]. Unlike mobile robot navigation, the wheelchair is operated by its user via a joystick. To aid the user in avoiding obstacles, joystick signals issued by the wheelchair users sometimes have to be overridden by signals from ...

Injuries to elite wheelchair athletes by Ronald W. Davis and Michael S. FerraraInjuries to elite wheelchair athletes by Ronald W. Davis and Michael S. Ferrara
The purpose of this project was to describe the nature, type, and frequency of athletic injuries incurred by the elite wheelchair athlete. Nineteen athletes participated in a 1-year injury recall study at an elite wheelchair training camp. An injury was defined as anything the athlete expressed concern about and (a) caused a loss of participation due to an injury or illness or (b) an injury in which a fracture, dislocation, or subluxation occurred and the athlete was able to continue participation. There were 10 male and 9 female subjects who reported their injuries from 1 June 1987 to 31 May 1988. Fifty injuries were reported, strains and muscular injuries accounted for almost half of the injuries. Physicians were the primary care provider for 37% of the injuries, followed by physical therapists and athletic trainers at 26% and 15% respectively.

July 2017 - A Writer In A WheelchairJuly 2017 - A Writer In A Wheelchair
In just over 12 hours I have an appointment with wheelchair services to have my new wheelchair fitted. If all goes according to plan it comes home with me and my action 3 stays there. Policy is that wheelchairs returned to them go to the workshop and get refurbished before being reissued. I doubt theyll even bother to look at mine because the reality is I use my wheelchairs to death before they get replaced and its fit for nothing but a trip to wherever it is dead wheelchairs go when theyve served their time.. Im looking forward to it and very hopeful that the new set up will be better for me. And Im really looking forward to having a wheelchair cushion for my powerchair and one for my manual again after six weeks of just having one and having to switch it every time I switch which chair Im in. I went for another Jay 2 Deep Contour in the end if anyone is wondering.. This is the longest Ive ever had a wheelchair for - Facebook told me that my assessment for it was 8 years ago this week ...

Wheelchair Kamikaze: April 2009Wheelchair Kamikaze: April 2009
Ive recently heard from several people who are on the verge of needing wheelchairs, saying that my Wheelchair Kamikaze videos have helped them and their friends and families see that being in a wheelchair does not diminish the person sitting in it. Thats a very hard and important realization to come to, and I dont mind saying that wrapping my mind around the fact that I was now the guy in the wheelchair was one of the most difficult adjustments Ive ever had to make.. As I wrote in my previous post, the process of getting my wheelchair was a nightmarish twelve-month struggle of dealing with inept and corrupt wheelchair providers, and legions of insurance company hellions. The grand irony of the struggle was that I was fighting tooth and nail for something I was actually terrified of. Logically, and physically, it was clear that I needed a motorized power chair. Emotionally, on the other hand, it was anything but clear. Me, in a wheelchair? The thought left me feeling gutted.. In a way, the ...

New in the Literature: SCI Paraplegia and Shoulder Pain (Spinal Cord Med. 2011;34:278-284.)New in the Literature: SCI Paraplegia and Shoulder Pain (Spinal Cord Med. 2011;34:278-284.)
People with spinal cord injury (SCI) paraplegia who receive exercise treatment for shoulder pain experience significant increases in social participation and improvements in quality of life (QOL), say authors of an article in The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine. However, they add, increases in social participation did not significantly affect improvements in QOL.. Fifty-eight participants with SCI paraplegia and shoulder pain were selected and randomized to either an exercise treatment or a control group. Participants in the treatment group participated in a 12-week, at-home exercise and movement optimization program designed to strengthen shoulder muscles and modify movements related to upper extremity weight bearing.. Participants filled out self-report measures at baseline, 12 weeks after the end of treatment, and at a 4-week follow-up. Outcomes were measured using the Wheelchair Users Shoulder Pain Index (WUSPI), the Social Interaction Inventory (SII), and the Subjective Quality of Life ...

While I know its tough to reside in a wheelchair that does not mean your life is over. You can do plenty of other items to keep yourself entertained, and you can still be a successful part of society. It is possible to always have hobbies and whatnot. By way of example, you may play wheelchair football, which is very popular nowadays. It is pretty much like regular football, but instead of running after the fall, you chase it on wheels. Wheelchair soccer is definitely something you need to think about.. If you dont like wheelchair soccer, then you can always play a few wheelchair basketball. Certainly there are wheelchair basketball teams at Palm Coast, FL, and those who attend these sports events normally have plenty of fun. Who says that person cannot be you.

Clinical Trial on Upper Extremity Injury: The effect of throwers ten exercise programme on wheelchair basketball and ambulant...Clinical Trial on Upper Extremity Injury: The effect of throwers ten exercise programme on wheelchair basketball and ambulant...
Basketball is a challenging sport that requires participants to demonstrate physical fitness and special athletic skills at high levels. Players avoid contact while attempting to prevent the opponent from running, passing and shooting. Although basketball includes avoiding contact as a rule, contact between players is inevitable. Various injuries occur in basketball because it is a contact sport and includes sudden movements, such as bouncing, running and turning. Wheelchair (WC) basketball is characterised by manoeuvres and high-intensity activities such as rolling, rebounding, passing and overhead shooting. In WC basketball players, thoracic kyphosis is increased because of atrophy of the upper back and shoulders muscles resulting from the body posture required for WC propulsion in the sitting position as well as the effect of gravity. This sitting posture is characterised by scapular protraction and internal rotation of the humerus, and it impedes shoulder movements during upper-extremity use.

Pressure Ulcer Prevention for Patients in Wheelchairs - Jeffrey M. Levine MD | Geriatric Specialist | Wound Care | Pressure...Pressure Ulcer Prevention for Patients in Wheelchairs - Jeffrey M. Levine MD | Geriatric Specialist | Wound Care | Pressure...
I would like to echo Lauri Rappis comments. Pressure mapping has been used by one major wheelchair cushion manufacturer as the end all, tells all of pressure sore prevention and the proof that it is not is in the high incidence of sores acquired by people using these cushions. That manufacturer has pretty much written the book on how pressure mapping is done and interpreted. Most physical therapists get their pressure map reading training by way of this manufacturer and simply dont know any better. Pressure sores are not caused by pressure alone but are caused by pressure combined with lack of movement! When movement is recreated by artificial means people who have a long and dismal history of recurrent pressure sores find they can stay up in their chairs as long as they want without pressure sores. My patented alternating pressure custom built wheelchair cushions are doing exactly that for hundreds of people every day and yet the medical community still relies on static non- moving ...

Disabled Airline Travelers Arm Broken By Airports Failure to Provide Requested Wheelchair Assistance - Airport Injury LawDisabled Airline Travelers Arm Broken By Airports Failure to Provide Requested Wheelchair Assistance - Airport Injury Law
Traveling the friendly skies is a challenging prospect for those who are disabled. We recently helped a woman in her case against an international airline and airport.. She was traveling to a family function and contacted the Defendant Airport in advance of her trip to inquire as to arranging for a wheelchair attendant when she arrived. When she arrived at the DC area airport, she was told by representatives of the airline that she did not need an attendant or a wheelchair, since she was able to get into the terminal from the curb by use of her motorized scooter. The airline representative dismissed the wheelchair attendant who had arrived.. The passenger was further informed that there were mid-field terminal buses and a train system to take her and her husband to their gate. The couple made it to their departure gate without incident. However, on the return trip to the Washington Metropolitan area, things did not go so smoothly…. After landing, the couple was given her scooter and ...

Wheelchair lacrosse teams to expand - New MobilityWheelchair lacrosse teams to expand - New Mobility
Wheelchair lacrosse is looking to expand big time, and their new promo video showcasing the veracity of the sport I have no doubt will certainly help their end goal. This gritty 6 minute video is worth every minute of your time. Its not looking for sympathy or even yo only inform, its looking to change perceptions of of how able-bodied people look at their sport.. Ryan Baker, a paraplegic from California, is the founder of Wheelchair Lacrosse USA and is the one behind trying to get a team in every major city across the country (even worldwide). He and his closest buddies (other players on his California team) are featured in the video with each of them talking about their story and why wheelchair lacrosse changed their lives. And its such a well done video; great music, professionally done, and it hits home. Its refreshing to see a video done so well on any disability-related subject (which unfortunately can be difficult to find).. If youre not familiar with lacrosse, no its not an elitist ...

The aim was to analyze the changes of physical performance and physiological responses during a high-intensity training task in wheelchair basketball (WB) players. Thirteen Spanish first division WB male players participated in this study. A test battery (change of direction ability, sprints, and sled towing) was performed to study neuromuscular responses before (pre) and after (post) the small-sided games (SSG). Furthermore, tympanic temperature and blood lactate concentration were measured before and immediately after players finished the SSG. The SSG tasks consisted in four players against four, 4 bouts of 4 min with 2 min of recovery periods. There was a 1.10% decline in performance in both 5- and 20-m sprints (p , .01; effect size [ES] ≤ 0.14), 1.82% decline in 5-m sled towing (p , .05; ES = 0.18), and 2.68% decline in 20-m sled towing (p , .01; ES = 0.27) between pre- and post-SSG. As in physical performance results, significant differences were observed between pre and post in ...

But the couple persisted, and when their daughter was born last year, they became the first wheelchair users in Mozyr to start a family.
