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)

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule to retain three class III preamendment devices in class III and to require the filing of a premarket approval application (PMA) or a notice of completion of a product development protocol (PDP) for the following devices: The lung water monitor, the powered vaginal muscle stimulator, and the stair-climbing wheelchair. The agency has summarized its findings regarding the degree of risk of illness or injury designed to be eliminated or reduced by requiring the devices to meet the statute's approval requirements and the benefits to the public from the use of the devices.  (+info)

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 - 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. Slightly over 57% of the injuries were classified as minor, missing 7 days or less of participation and 32% were classified as major, missing 22 days or more

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 ...

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 ...

The present study will analyze if exercise is able to elicit the well-known anti-atherogenic effects in patients with SCI. This will be evaluated by measuring vascular parameters such as endothelial and inflammatory blood markers, echocardiography of the heart and peripheral vessels, as well as blood pressure and arterial stiffness, in subjects performing either wheelchair dancing, wheelchair marathon or no sports. Further, it will be investigated, whether there is an association between neuroplasticity and cardiovascular health, as measured by electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and blood levels of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).. We hypothesize that the cardiovascular, physical and psychological benefits of wheelchair dancing and/or wheelchair marathon parallel improved neuroplasticity in SCI-patients ...

Its my life: Life as a disabled person in a mainstream world: The Lake District in a wheelchairIts my life: Life as a disabled person in a mainstream world: The Lake District in a wheelchair
One thing we found really useful when in the lakes was a publication by the Lake District National Park Authority called Miles without Stiles an online link is here. It details over 40 walks around the National Park and tells you the surface, and gradients of the routes so you can plan ahead. There may be gates on the routes but, as the title suggests, there are no styles. It is not only handy for wheelchair users but also those bringing small children in buggies. One route we did was around Tarn Hows (route 13), we did the circular walk which it says is a route for many, the route for all is a very short walk to a view point and back again (no thank you). The circular walk is well worth doing and there is some beautiful scenery around there however if you are a manual wheelchair user you will likely struggle to do this route on your own. This is mainly due to the surface of the path, the guide describes it as smooth, compact stone and dust, and provides a smooth ride for wheelchair and ...

How the Americans with Disabilities Act Protects the Rights of Wheelchair Users | United Spinal AssociationHow the Americans with Disabilities Act Protects the Rights of Wheelchair Users | United Spinal Association
United Spinal Association is proud to be a part of the legacy of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the landmark civil rights law that protects wheelchair users and other people with disabilities from discrimination.. July 26th marks the anniversary of the ADA. On this date in 1990 there were over 1,000 wheelchair users and other people with disabilities on the White House lawn as President George H. W. Bush signed the milestone legislation into law.. The ADA created a collective consciousness about discrimination on the basis of disability. The nondisabled public, the media and elected officials could not identify unnecessary segregation and special treatment for people with disabilities as discrimination so the law provided behavioral guidance. Most importantly, the ADA borrowed from the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which defined discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance as the failure by an employer or potential employer, proprietor of a place open to the public, or ...

Smart wheelchair gives users more autonomy : McGill ReporterSmart wheelchair gives users more autonomy : McGill Reporter
By McGill Reporter Staff. About 3.8 million working-age Canadians (aged 15 to 64) self-identified as disabled in 2012. Thats almost 14 per cent of us, or one in ten. Some disability activists say those of us who are not disabled are just temporarily abled, meaning that many of us are going to need assistance as we grow older. That assistance will take the form of a wheelchair, hopefully a smart one.. In the 1950s, Canadian inventor George Klein built the first electric wheelchair - considered one of the greatest inventions in the history of Canadian science and engineering. It is admired around the world for improving the mobility and quality of life of people with mobility issues.. Now Computer Engineering professor Joëlle Pineau and colleagues from other institutions are working on advancing Kleins work with the next generation of user-friendly wheelchairs.. The SmartWheeler and Multi-modal intelligent wheelchair combines robotics and artificial intelligence to give disabled people more ...

Researchers studied the efficiency of TDS for controlling a computer and driving a powered wheelchair. Two groups of ablebodied subjects and one group consisting of people with spinal cord injuries participated in the study. They found that those with spinal cord injuries were more easily able to use TDS as compared to a sip-and-puff device or a keypad. The flexibility of TDS, along with characteristics of the human tongue enabled people with motor impairments to access computers and drive wheelchairs at a faster speed than with traditional assistive technology. Accuracy proved to be comparable to traditional devices ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 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 ...

Mrs Orchard, said I was honoured to be asked to speak at the inauguration of the We Play Together photo exhibition. The campaign represents the power of sport to promote peace, unity and inclusion, reflecting some of the core elements of wheelchair basketball as a sport. One of the main objectives for IWBF is to use sport to make peoples lives better and the UNOSDPs We Play Together campaign is really important to highlight how much influence sport can have on individuals and communities.. I was delighted to be able to share how IWBF uses sport to provide opportunities for women and men of all ages with physical disabilities to gain self-confidence, fitness and an awareness of their abilities.. IWBF is committed to working with the UN to help spread the word - sport can be used to promote integration, to show ability where it was not seen before and to promote peace. ...

MOZYR, Belarus - When Anya Shevko, 29, became pregnant, she had to weigh herself at a recycling centre because the local maternity clinic did not have suitable scales. Even visiting the clinic was difficult because Anya is in a wheelchair - and so is her husband, Zhenya, 36. But the couple persisted, and when their daughter was born last year, they became the first wheelchair users in Mozyr to start a family.

United Airlines is in more hot water after employees allegedly destroyed a custom wheelchair belonging to a 24-year-old man who suffers from a severe spinal condition.. Valentin Duthion, a France native, set off on a New Jersey-bound flight from Europe on July 2 with a group of friends and left his custom, 550 lb., approximately $42,000 chair in the care of airline staff, Duthions sister, Lucie, told Le Progrès.. This is how @united airline accompanies people with disabilities, Lucie tweeted alongside a video of the damaged chair. Armchair destroyed (37,000€), trip to the USA wasted. Shameful #RT.. The footage showed pieces of the chair broken off and its wheels contorted.. Duthion has spinal muscular atrophy and requires the use of the mechanical wheelchair to get around, Lucie told Le Progrès.

The player classification system in wheelchair basketball (composed of four classes) is based on an analysis of players functional resources through game observation and field-testing. This study examines if the classes are in the correct proportion relative to each other. During the Wheelchair Basketball World Championships in Sydney 1998, 12 teams were videotaped for three 40-min games. Eighty-eight male players were retained for a detailed performance analysis by means of the Comprehensive Basketball Grading System (CBGS). Although a slight underestimation of the functional potential of Class II and III players was noted, it was concluded that the player classification system in wheelchair basketball proportionally represents the functional potential of the players. ...

Propulsion Is Often Blamed for Shoulder Pain, But Is that a Fair Assessment? -- Mobility ManagementPropulsion Is Often Blamed for Shoulder Pain, But Is that a Fair Assessment? -- Mobility Management
Of course, propulsion remains part of any discussion of shoulder pain and injury. Both Maurer and Doherty cited Paralyzed Veterans of America clinical practice guidelines that discuss shoulder injury and protection - titled Preservation of Upper Limb Function Following Spinal Cord Injury, the pdf download is available free at pva.org.. One of the things they talk about, Doherty says, is getting the axle as far forward as possible for individuals, but of course, you also have to look at their wheelchair skill level and make sure theyre not going to tip over backward constantly. So they can have a longer wheelchair propulsion stroke, and keep their hand on the handrim as long as they can to reduce the number of push strokes thats required to go a set distance.. Maurer says that while the overall weight of the ultralightweight chair is important to consider, the chairs components should also be scrutinized: The weight of the wheels impacts how hard it is to push, not necessarily the ...

Biomechanical evaluation of a novel wheelchair backrest for elderly people | BioMedical Engineering OnLine | Full TextBiomechanical evaluation of a novel wheelchair backrest for elderly people | BioMedical Engineering OnLine | Full Text
Back pain is a common complication of wheelchair-bound elderly people. Seating system is a key factor that influences spinal curvature, back muscle activation, interface pressure, and comfortability. A seating system can maintain lumbar lordosis, lower back muscle activity, and decrease ischial tuberosities pressure, which reduces spinal load and directly influences sitting comfort. Our previous study has confirmed that backward thoracic support showed a relatively higher lumbar lordosis and lower back muscle activity. This study intends to evaluate the influence of backward thoracic support on interface pressure and subjective discomfort. In this study, 18 elderly men were recruited to participate in a random comparison involving 4 sitting postures. These postures comprised relaxed slouching, flat back support, prominent lumbar support, and backward thoracic support sitting. All parameters, including interface pressure (total contact area, average pressure, and peak pressure on backrest and seat) and

Ive been rather behind on my television viewing lately, and I only recently caught up on Selfish, the second episode of the new season of House (please be advised that this post contains significant spoilers for said episode). After watching it, I needed several weeks to ponder it before I could write about it, because it was an awful episode, and it had a whole lot of problems going on with it. I knew I wanted to open up discussion about it here, but had trouble getting a handle on how to begin.. The episode opens with a scene of a skateboarder in an indoor facility, showing off tricks for a group of wheelchair users and seemingly nondisabled adults. Shredding for a Cure, a banner hanging in the facility alerts us. The skateboarder comes to a halt and volunteers to push one of the wheelchair users, who turns out to be her brother, around..

Action on Hearing Loss defends holding comedy fundraiser in inaccessible venue - Disability News ServiceAction on Hearing Loss defends holding comedy fundraiser in inaccessible venue - Disability News Service
A disability charity has refused to apologise for holding a fundraising comedy night in an inaccessible London venue.. Action on Hearing Loss (formerly known as RNID) was raising money as part of its Deaf Awareness Week with an evening of stand-up at The Comedy Store in London.. Performers included Angela Barnes, Samantha Baines, Ed Gamble, Eshaan Akbar, Russell Howard (all pictured, left to right) and John Bishop, three of whom have hearing loss themselves.. But the venue chosen by the charity is not accessible to many disabled people, with The Comedy Store warning on its website that it only has a chair lift which cannot bear the weight of a person in a wheelchair.. This means that any wheelchair-user must be able to leave their wheelchair, descend via the chairlift, then retake their wheelchair once at the bottom of the stairs, so large electric wheelchairs are unable to gain access to the auditorium.. Alan Benson, a disabled campaigner and activist from London, said: Funding is a ...

What are assistive devices? And who needs them?. Assistive devices help people carry out their daily activities more easily and safely. They are used primarily by persons with disabilities, the elderly, or patients who have difficulty taking care of themselves due to illness or injury. Examples include wheelchairs, walking aids, and electric beds. Such devices can alleviate the effects of disabilities and make a caregivers job easier.. An assistive device is easy to obtain if one is staying in a medical or nursing facility, but what about those who need such equipment after being discharged from such a facility? An oxygen concentrator or electric bed can cost tens of thousands of Taiwanese dollars (one U.S. dollar is about 30 Taiwanese dollars). A wheelchair is not cheap either. Taking care of seriously ill family members is already emotionally and physically demanding enough-the added financial burden from having to purchase assistive equipment just contributes to the stress of family members, ...
