Relationship Between Shoulder Pain and Joint Reaction Forces and Muscle Moments During 2 Speeds of Wheelchair Propulsion

“…2 These musculoskeletal injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, impingement of subacromial structures, rotator cuff tears, and elbow/shoulder tendinitis, may significantly impair the independence of wheelchair users, impede the effects of rehabilitation, and decrease physical activity and quality of life. [3][4][5][6][7] Manual wheelchair users mainly rely on the upper extremities for mobility and functional activities. When they apply muscle forces to push the wheelchair pushrim, reactive forces act on their shoulders that may cause musculoskeletal damage.…”
