Smallest detectable change in propulsion wheelchair tests on a wheelchair ergometer

The wheelchair ergometer (Lode Esseda) can be used to monitor propulsion variables of wheelchair users, for example to evaluate wheelchair adaptations. In order to interpret the outcomes of the measurements and to support clinical decision making, it is important to distinguish real changes in propulsion technique and physiological outcomes from measurement errors

Determining the difference between wheelchair adaptations, i.e. hand rim types, by using propulsion wheelchair tests on a wheelchair ergometer

Wheelchair adaptations are mainly based on expert opinion obtained from observation. The Lode Esseda wheelchair ergometer provides objective data and may therefore support clinical decision-making

The wheelchair ergometer for adjustments in manual wheelchair use in action!

Wheelchair ergometer Obtaining objective propulsion data to analyze the interface of user and wheelchair in action to contribute to the advice for adjustments. Active lifestyle A well-adjusted wheelchair can contribute to an active lifestyle, maximal participation in society and avoiding overload. Current status Protocol consisted of 30s sprint, driving at comfortable speed and maintaining given constant speed

Possibilities of using the Rollz Motion Smart for gait analysis in rehabilitation of stroke patients

The Rollz Motion Smart rollator detects posture, gait and activity of a user and provides feedback. • Various programs to train the user and optimize walking performance. • Measuring gait parameters like velocity, step time, step length, distance between person and rollator. • Visual, tactile and auditory cues help the user to take the first step or maintain a suitable walking rhythm
