Propulsion efficiency in wheelchair tennis: a case study on the influence of the racket on the handrim forces
Abstract Aims: to evaluate how the act of holding a tennis racket influences the application of forces in the handrim during manual wheelchair propulsion at a self-selected comfortable speed and sprint. Methods: A case study was conducted with an experienced wheelchair tennis player who propelled...
