- •
Start-up is assumed as a straining and frequent element in hand-rim wheelchair use.
- •
The intensity of shoulder loading decreased during power-assisted start-up.
- •
Also reduced peak resultant force with less shoulder abduction
- •
Use of power-assist might reduce the risk of developing shoulder overuse injuries.
