Abstract

The upper extremities are at serious risk in hand rim wheelchair users. Several researchers (Curtis et al., 1999, Pentland & Twomey, 1994) have shown that upper-extremity complaints frequently occur within the wheelchair user population. This is likely related to wheelchair propulsion, but possibly even more to other wheelchair related tasks such as transfers and weight relief lifts.
