Anatomical Model Propulsion System (AMPS): Measuring Manual Wheelchair Efficiency
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009)
The goal of this project was to produce a test device and
methodology capable of measuring the mechanical
efficiency of manual wheelchairs. The result would
provide an objective measure of wheelchair performance
that ...
Analysis of Temperature and Relative Humidity Variation in Wheelchair Cushion Monitoring Tests
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009)
Clinicians need to prescribe wheelchair equipment that is tailored to the needs of the individual. Relative humidity affects friction and skin's ability to withstand loads. Increased tissue temperature increases metabolic ...
Effect of model design, cushion construction, and interface pressure mats on interface pressure and immersion
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008)
Measuring interface pressure (IP) is one way to
characterize cushion performance in the clinic and laboratory.
This study explored how the presence of four commercially
available IP mats affected IP on and immersion of ...
Outcomes of an Assistive Technology Intervention Among Wheeled Mobility Users
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007)
This paper reports the outcomes of an assistive technology (AT) intervention among seating and mobility clients at an acute rehabilitation hospital between 2002 and 2004. Three instruments, OTFACT, PIADS, and the ATOM, ...
