The interest in airless or non-pneumatic tire (NPT) structures emerges due to potential
performance and environmental advantages, such as reduced rolling resistance and …

Many aspects relating to equipment configuration affect users' actions in a manual
wheelchair, determining the overall mobility performance. Since the equipment components …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of wheelchair mass, solid vs. pneumatic
tires and tire pressure on physical strain and wheelchair propulsion technique. 11 Able …

This article proposes a simple and convenient method for assessing the subject-specific
rolling resistance acting on a manual wheelchair, which could be used during the provision …

Purpose: To examine the heart-rate (HR) response and court-movement variables during
wheelchair tennis match play for high-(HIGH) and low-(LOW) performance-ranked players …

Currently, rolling resistance and wheelchair stability during manual wheelchair propulsion
can be assessed from the loads applied on the front and rear wheels, which are determined …

The purpose of this study was to develop a simple approach to evaluate resistive frictional
forces acting on manual wheelchairs (MWCs) during straight and turning maneuvers. Using …

Purpose The aim of this research is to establish whether, and to what extent, the tilt angle,
gear ratio of the propulsion system and propulsion frequency of a wheelchair influence the …

The effort needed to maneuver a manual wheelchair is a function of the occupied
wheelchair's inertia and energy loss. The primary source of energy loss is due to the …

Purpose The objective of the study is to build a mathematical model that will be used to
determine the value of the propulsions torque required to drive a human–wheelchair system …
