Validation of a Real-Time Manual Wheelchair Simulator through Biomechanical and Perceptual Measures: A Comparison with Overground Propulsion
Ateayeh Bayat, Félix Chénier
Purpose: Manual wheelchair simulators can provide a safe and controlled environment for propulsion training, biofeedback, and biomechanical assessment. However, their ecological va…
Using a quantitative assessment of propulsion biomechanics in wheelchair racing to guide the design of personalized gloves: a case study
Félix Chénier, Gerald Parent, Mikaël Leblanc +2
This study with a T-52 class wheelchair racing athlete aimed to combine quantitative biomechanical measurements to the athlete's perception to design and test different prototypes…
Tracking the whole-body centre of mass while seated in a wheelchair using motion capture
Félix Chénier, Etienne Marquis, Maude Fleury-Rousseau
Estimating the position of the whole-body centre of mass (CoM) based on skin markers and anthropometric tables requires tracking the pelvis and lower body, which is impossible for…
Interpreting the Tilt-and-Torsion Method to Express Shoulder Joint Kinematics
Félix Chénier, Ilona Alberca, Arnaud Faupin +1
Background: Kinematics is studied by practitioners and researchers in different fields of practice. It is therefore critically important to adhere to a taxonomy that explicitly des…
