摘要

Wholebody shocks and vibrations experienced during manual wheelchair use can decrease an individual's comfort, increase the rate of fatigue, result in injury, and consequently limit mobility and community participation. We used a wheelchairvibration simulator to examine whether the seat reaction forces experienced by wheelchair users were differentially influenced by wheelchair suspension, trunkmuscle innervations, and ground speed. We used wheelchairs instrumented with load cells and accelerometers to determine the forces transmitted from the seat frame and the head accelerations experienced by riders. We determined that selfselected speed, seat force, and head accelerations differed between subjects with and without trunkmuscle innervations and between rigid and suspension wheelchairs. Seat force and head accelerations were greatest in the rigidframe wheelchair and lowest in the springtype suspensionframe wheelchairs. Those participants without trunkmuscle innervations preferred slower speeds than those with trunkmuscle innervations. Forward head accelerations were greater in those without than with trunkmuscle innervations. Wheelchair rearsuspension systems may improve wheelchair mobility function in terms of comfort at higher velocity by minimizing the seat forces and head accelerations experienced by the riders, especially those with higher level spinal cord injury and diminished postural control.
