Activity monitors for physical activity assessment of wheelchair users.
Abstract: Narrator talks about and presents the findings from a study in which 45 wheelchair users with spinal cord injury participated and performed activities such as resting, propelling a wheelchair, and performing arm exercises. Study results indicate that commercial devices may not be suitable for wheelchair users with a spinal cord injury. The research study will continue using modified devices and include other wheelchair users diagnosed with spina bifida and cerebral palsy, and add additional activities. These results will be made available in a web based application that can be easily accessed by wheelchair users, clinicians, and researchers. Goals of the study are to create tools to better facilitate personal and clinical decisions on physical activity and to create a healthy lifestyle for the wheelchair user population. Run time: 3 minutes 28 seconds.
