In wheelchair sports, the use of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) has proven to be one of the most accessible ways for ambulatory measurement of wheelchair kinematics. A three-IMU configuration, with one IMU attached to the wheelchair frame and two IMUs on each wheel axle, has previously shown accurate …

Wheelchair adaptations are mainly based on expert opinion obtained from observation. The Lode Esseda wheelchair ergometer provides objective data and may therefore support clinical decision-making.

The wheelchair ergometer (Lode Esseda) can be used to monitor propulsion variables of wheelchair users, for example to evaluate wheelchair adaptations. In order to interpret the outcomes of the measurements and to support clinical decision making, it is important to distinguish real changes in propulsion …

Wheelchair ergometer Obtaining objective propulsion data to analyze the interface of user and wheelchair in action to contribute to the advice for adjustments. Active lifestyle A well-adjusted wheelchair can contribute to an active lifestyle, maximal participation in society and avoiding overload. Current …

The Rollz Motion Smart rollator detects posture, gait and activity of a user and provides feedback. • Various programs to train the user and optimize walking performance. • Measuring gait parameters like velocity, step time, step length, distance between person and rollator. • Visual, tactile and auditory …

In sports, inertial measurement units are often used to measure the orientation of human body segments. A Madgwick (MW) filter can be used to obtain accurate inertial measurement unit (IMU) orientation estimates. This filter combines two different orientation estimates by applying a correction of the …

De rolstoel: het icoon voor handicap, dat ding waar je in ‘belandt’, meestal afgebeeld in zwaar roestvrijstalen uitvouwbare uitvoering, bedoeld om in voortgeduwd te worden. Die rolstoel, die interesseert ons niet! Welke dan wel? De rolstoel die de gebruiker zijn individuele vrijheid teruggeeft, en stimuleert …

Physical activity monitoring with wearable technology has the potential to support stroke rehabilitation. Little is known about how physical therapists use and value the use of wearable activity monitors. This cross-sectional study explores the use, perspectives, and barriers to wearable activity monitoring …

Purpose: Elucidating the complex interactions between physical activity (PA), a multidimensional concept, and physical capacity (PC) may reveal ways to improve rehabilitation interventions. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore which PA dimensions are related to PC in people after minor stroke. Materials …

Athlete impairment level is an important factor in wheelchair mobility performance (WMP) in sports. Classification systems, aimed to compensate impairment level effects on performance, vary between sports. Improved understanding of resemblances and differences in WMP between sports could aid in optimizing …
