Wheelchair prescription: an analysis of factors that affect mobility and performance.

摘要: Clearly, all considerations for wheelchair performance and their applicability to optimization of mobility are related user position relative the main wheel axis. It is also obvious that enhanced by a center gravity rearward which characteristic generic wheelchair. The only features excessive static stability limitation body motion. Perhaps at this stage reader may be ready accept some arguments presented above, but have reservations about prescribing less stable more severely disabled (e.g., quadraplegics). Consider reduction rolling resistance, decrease in downhill turning tendancy, required force would likely even important with marginal physical capacity. This appear as an attractive trade stability. number factors unfavorably affected increased suggest use anti-tipping device rather than designed if thought consideration.
