Objectives: To determine differences in metabolic demands, stroke frequency, and upper-extremity joint range of motion (ROM) during pushrim-activated power-assisted wheelchair (PAPAW) propulsion and traditional manual wheelchair propulsion among subjects with tetraplegia. Design: Repeated measures. Setting: A biomechanics laboratory within a Veterans Affairs medical center. Participants: Fifteen full-time manual wheelchair users who had sustained cervical-level spinal cord injuries. Interventions: Participants propelled both their own manual wheelchairs and a PAPAW through 3 different resistances (slight, 10W; moderate, 12W; high, 14W) on a wheelchair dynamometer.
