Veeger, E. Lute, K. Roeleveld, L. van der Woude] Summary: To compare physiological responses and propulsion technique of able bodied subjects with no prior experience of wheelchairs (AB) and wheelchair dependent subjects (WD), ten AB and nine WD performed a 30-s sprint test in a wheelchair ergometer. The WD had spinal cord injuries with a lesion at T8 or lower. The WD and AB did not show significantly different physiological responses. The power values averaged for the right wheel over the 30 s of the test were 50.2 (SD 14.7) W and 48.0 (SD 4.4) W for WD and AB, respectively. No significant differences in torque application could be discerned, although WD subjects seemed to have a more flattened torque curve with a smaller negative deflection at the beginning of the push. The WD applied a significantly higher horizontal propulsive force to the handrims but did not apply force more effectively. The percentages of effective force to total propulsive force were 61 (SD 16)% for WD and 57 (SD 4)% for AB. With regard to the kinematic parameters, AB followed the handrims significantly longer than WD (end angle AB 65°, WD 44°), started the push phase with their arms more in retroflexion and flexed their trunks further forward. The AB did however show a movement pattern comparable to that of wheelchair athletes measured in a comparable experiment. It could not be decided conclusively that inexperience in wheelchair propulsion led to a less effective propulsion technique. Despite the selection of WD with respect to lesion level, interindividual differences in terms of level of training may have been responsible for the absence of significant results.
