Gears for wheelchairs: new design aims to stop pain and keep users independent
NCT ID NCT05776030
Summary
This study is testing a new manual wheelchair design that works like a multi-speed bicycle. It aims to reduce shoulder pain and strain for people who use wheelchairs due to spinal cord injuries. Researchers will have 30 veterans try different gear settings to see which makes pushing easier on different surfaces like hills and carpet. The goal is to create a better wheelchair that helps users stay independent longer by preventing painful overuse injuries.
