Wheelchair Axle Position Effect on the Propulsion Performance of Persons With C7 Tetraplegia: A Repeated-Measures Study.

Objectives: To assess the changes in speed, stroke frequency, acceleration, and shoulder range of motion (ROM) associated with different wheelchair axle positions in people with chronic C7 tetraplegia.

Methods: This repeated-measures study was conducted at the Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Unit, FLENI Escobar, Argentina. The speed, stroke frequency, acceleration, and shoulder ROM during wheelchair propulsion were measured in nine participants with C7 spinal cord injury (SCI) in four different axle positions (forward and up, forward and down, backward and down, backward and up).

[Participation in the community after the rehabilitation: multi-center study in Argentina].

Introduction: Introduction: Participation is the dynamic and complex interaction between the individual's health condition, bodily functions, activities that can be carried out and environmental factors. Measuring it helps to understand the impact of disability.

Objectives: Describe the activities and participation in subjects with neurological pathologies, discharged from hospitalization for rehabilitation.

Berg Balance Scale: inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Spanish version with incomplete spinal cord injured subjects.

Study Design: Cross sectional.

Objectives: To determine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Spanish version of the Berg Balance Scale with incomplete spinal cord injured subjects.

Setting: CINER Rehabilitation Center.

Reliability of the Spanish version of the wheelchair skills test 4.2 for manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury.

Cross-sectional. The majority of people with a spinal cord injury (SCI) are dependent on wheelchair for their mobility. Approximately, 36% of wheelchair users reported that obstacles such as curbs, uneven terrain, flooring surfaces and thresholds were barriers to mobility.
