Introduction - Clinical Studies
Welcome to SuperQuad's Medical Aspects section: Your source of medical and technical reports and charts about the Wijit.
Manual wheelchair users rely heavily on their upper limbs for independent mobility which likely leads to a high prevalence of shoulder pain and injury. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between shoulder forces and moments experienced during wheelchair propulsion and shoulder pathology.
SuperQuad proudly announces their latest findings: Lever propulsion shifted the shoulder joint load by decreasing the superior glenohumeral force while increasing the range of motion.
The Department of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy & Kinesiology at USC and the Pathokinesiology Laboratory at the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center have developed an informative poster, highlighting their study on shoulder joint load during lever wheelchair propulsion for individuals with spinal cord injuries.
