Assessment of Conventional and Non-Conventional Wheelchair Propulsion using Surface Electromyography Activity of Shoulder Muscles

Author(s):

Tarek Atallah

The high demand on the upper limbs during propulsion on the standard wheelchair is contributing to multiple injuries of the rotator cuff. Since the conventional wheelchair is being responsible of a second handicap, a new prototype based on a lever system has been suggested to reduce the risk of shoulder injuries. The objective of this study is to compare shoulder muscle activity during propulsion on the conventional and non-conventional wheelchair. 18 able-bodied were recruited from the Lebanese University. All Subjects were healthy males only for convenience in electrode placement. Participants propelled the conventional and non-conventional wheelchair at a speed of 0.9 m/s for two trials each one. Mean power frequency, RMS, Frequencies above 95% of the power spectral intensity, Median... view moreĀ»
