Wheelchair skill acquisition

motor learning effects of low intensity handrim wheelchair practice

Vegter, R.J.K. (2015). Wheelchair skill acquisition: motor learning effects of low intensity handrim wheelchair practice. Groningen: Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.

Wheelchair users depend on their upper body for mobility during daily life. However, handrim wheelchair propulsion is a physically straining form of ambulation as a consequence of a low mechanical efficiency and a high mechanical load on the shoulder complex. The research described in this thesis aims to increase our knowledge about the acquisition of wheelchair propulsion technique for the rehabilitation setting and to improve our understanding of natural motor learning processes.
