Evaluation of Physiological and Biomechanical Efficiency of the PAPAW (SmartDrive)

The main objective is to quantify energy expenditure when using the SmartDrive system during manual wheelchair propulsion in external conditions (slope, straight line). For this two comparisons are performed:

Comparison of energy expenditure with and without the use of a system SmartDrive 6 minute propulsion test.

Comparison the risk of musculoskeletal disorders of the wrist during a 6 minute propulsion test.
