WHEELCHAIR PROPULSION AND EQUILIBRIUM - CALL FOR A SPANISH AND/OR
ITALIAN PARTNERSHIP
Dear Biomch-L readers,
Our research lies on the determination of both mechanical and
physiological parameters involved in wheelchair propulsion and
equilibrium (last references below). In this aim, we have developed a
physical model of forces and torques calculation for the dynamic
analysis of the wheelchair propulsion. This model allows to determine
both the 3 components and the point of application of the force applied
by the athlete on the handrim, as well as the resulting propulsion
moment.
Next month, we will dispose of a wheel specially designed for the
measurement of these values, in real time and in various situations.
These dynamic data along with some kinematic data (speed of the
wheelchair, slope of the floor) will be recorded on a completely free
acquisition device, developed in our laboratory and fixed on the
wheelchair.
For the experimental validation of these model and device and the
application of this system in different living, occupational and
sporting situations, we are looking for a partnership - through a
european scientific collaboration - with a Medical Laboratory interested
by the aim of this study.
Readers concerned by this proposition are invited to provide a few
details about their Laboratory (i.e. name, address, number of searchers,
research themes, scientific publications...).
With our gratefully thanks,
Michel DABONNEVILLE & Philippe VASLIN
