BackgroundIn Paralympic sport, classification of impairment with the ability to detect misrepresentation of abilities is mandatory. In wheelchair rugby, there is currently no objective method to classify arm coordination impairment. In previous resea

Optimising classification of proximal arm strength impairment in wheelchair rugby: A proof of concept study

Autor: Michael Hutchinson, Victoria L. Goosey-Tolfrey, Barry S. Mason, Francesco Bettella, Nicola Petrone, Viola C. Altmann

This study examined the relationship between proximal arm strength and mobility performance in wheelchair rugby (WR) athletes and examined whether a valid structure for classifying proximal arm strength impairment could be determined. Fifty-seven tra

In persons with calf muscle weakness, walking energy cost is commonly increased due to persistent knee flexion and a diminished push-off. Provided ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) usually lower walking energy cost. To maximize the reduction in energy cost,
