Evaluation of anti-rollback systems in manual wheelchairs: muscular activity and upper limb kinematics during propulsion
Abstract Self-propelling a wheelchair up a hill requires intense muscular effort and introduces the risk of the wheelchair rolling down. The purpose of this paper was to assess the user's muscular activity during ramp climbing. Tests were carried out on a group of 10 subjects who had to propel...
