Evaluation and Analysis of Kinetic and Temporal Parameters of Wheelchair Propulsion for Practical Implications of Rehabilitation and Sports
Keywords:
Wheelchair, Propulsion kinetic, Temporal parameters, Wheelchair propulsion trainingAbstract
Effective wheelchair propulsion training for patients and athletes relies largely upon an in-depth analysis of the kinetic and temporal variables of wheelchair propulsion. The kinetic parameters indicate the quantity and quality of force applied on the handrim and translation into the hub to propel the wheel. The temporal parameters are used clinically to demonstrate an optimal pattern and cadence of propulsion. Thus, the kinetic and temporal parameters illustrate the effectiveness of energy expenditure and external propulsion work done and indicate the risk of upper limb injuries. The analysis of these parameters is, therefore, crucial for the success of rehabilitation and wheelchair propulsion training in both patients and athletes. The objectives of this article were to highlight the significance of kinetic and temporal parameters of wheelchair propulsion and their analyses for sport and clinical implications to optimize wheelchair propulsion performance and minimize the risk of overuse injury.
