DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over half of the wheelchair user population has developed upper extremity (UE) pain and injury. One of the activities that likely contribute to the development of injury is wheelchair propulsion. The PVA Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Preservation of Upper Extremity Health recommends that users are trained to push with less frequent, long, smooth strokes. There are currently no products on the market that allow individual users to monitor propulsion technique on a continuous basis during daily mobility. This project will develop a wheelchair propulsion monitor to meet this need and evaluate its efficacy through user assessments and a validation study. As a result of this project, clinicians and wheelchair users will gain access to the technology and information necessary to assess and improve propulsion technique.

描述（由申请人提供）：超过一半的轮椅使用者出现上肢 (UE) 疼痛和损伤。可能导致损伤发生的活动之一是轮椅推进。 《PVA 上肢健康保护临床实践指南》建议用户接受训练，以较少频率、较长、平稳的动作进行推动。目前市场上还没有产品允许个人用户在日常出行过程中连续监控推进技术。该项目将开发轮椅推进监视器来满足这一需求，并通过用户评估和验证研究来评估其功效。通过该项目，临床医生和轮椅使用者将获得评估和改进推进技术所需的技术和信息。
