Anatomical Model Propulsion System: Measuring Manual Wheelchair Efficiency

2010 , Dao, Phuc , Sprigle, Stephen , Caspall, Jayme , Ferri, Aldo A. , Eicholtz, Matthew , Wang, Stan

The goal of this project was to produce a test device and methodology capable of measuring the mechanical efficiency of manual wheelchairs. The result would provide an objective measure of wheelchair performance that are required to effectively prescribe wheelchairs and to code wheelchairs properly for reimbursement.

iMachine: Measuring Manual Wheelchair Mass Properties

2010 , Eicholtz, Matthew , Sprigle, Stephen , Ferri, Al , Caspall, Jayme , Dao, Phuc , Wang, Stan

Mass properties are important parameters in dynamic systems analysis, but may be difficult to estimate for irregularly-shaped objects. Specifically, the iMachine is designed to analyze manual wheelchairs in an effort to determine the propulsion efficiency using the Anatomical Model Propulsion System (AMPS).

Analysis of Temperature and Relative Humidity Variation in Wheelchair Cushion Monitoring Tests

2009 , Eicholtz, Matthew , Sprigle, Stephen

Clinicians need to prescribe wheelchair equipment that is tailored to the needs of the individual. Relative humidity affects friction and skin's ability to withstand loads. Increased tissue temperature increases metabolic demand and may affect tissue integrity. Need to develop ISO standards for cushion testing.
