About this study
The purpose of this study is to develop a pattern recognition algorithm for manual wheelchair related activities of daily living. This study also aims to identify shoulder impingement risk score of MWC-related ADLs and determine cumulative shoulder impingement risk of MWC-related ADLs.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
