Laboratory Assessment of Manual Wheelchair Propulsion by Bartosz Wieczorek, Maciej Sydor

“…This article reviews and analyzes the laboratory methods for assessing the efficiency of wheelchair propulsion documented in the scientific literature: (1) A wheelchair dynamometer that replicates real-world driving scenarios, quantifies the wheelchair’s motion characteristics, and evaluates the physical exertion required for propulsion. (2) Simultaneous measurements of body position, motion, and upper limb EMG data to analyze biomechanics. (3) A method for determining the wheelchair’s trajectory based on data from the dynamometer. (4) Measurements of the dynamic center of mass (COM) of the human–wheelchair system to assess stability and efficiency; and (5) data analysis techniques for parameterizing large datasets and determining the COM. …”
