Symmetry of the elbow kinematics during racing wheelchair propulsion

Article Abstract:

A study of elbow kinematics during racing wheelchair propulsion has established that there is bilateral arm symmetry for expert wheelchair racers at 14 mph. Observing the elbow movement patterns of trained wheelchair racer-participants, results showed no significant difference between the right and left sides of the participants in terms of propulsion phase, elbow height and the characteristics of elbow angular displacement. Chair design and the athlete's posture may have accounted for the slight difference.

A comparison between intermittent and constant wheelchair propulsion strategies

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of different synchronous push strategies on physiological parameters and temporal timing characteristics. Results suggested that regardless of push strategy, the over-riding factor that influenced both the physiological and timing parameters measured was the push frequency.

Comparison of thermal comfort performance of two different types of road vehicle climate control systems

Article Abstract:

Climate control systems play an important role in traffic safety and the performance of two different types of climate control systems was evaluated using modern and practical evaluation techniques. It was concluded that thermal conditions had significant influence over the mental condition of car drivers.
