Scientists track hidden shoulder damage in wheelchair users
NCT ID NCT02600910
Summary
This study aims to understand why and how shoulder pain and injuries develop in people who are new to using manual wheelchairs. Researchers will follow 75 participants (50 new wheelchair users and 25 able-bodied adults) for 3 to 5 years, tracking their daily arm movements and taking regular shoulder MRI scans. The goal is to identify the early signs of shoulder damage and the specific activities that cause it, to build evidence for future prevention strategies.
