Can science unlock the secret to a perfect wheelchair wheelie?
NCT ID NCT07738913
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This observational study looks at how people with spinal cord injuries maintain balance while performing a stationary wheelchair wheelie. Participants will be asked to hold a wheelie for at least 20 seconds while sensors track their body movements and balance. The goal is to understand the postural control mechanisms that make this skill possible, which could help improve wheelchair training and safety.
