Abstract
People with spinal cord injuries (SCI) must transfer many
times daily. Despite the importance of proper transfers,
researchers have not completely described the kinematics of
lateral transfers. Nyland et al identified transfer technique as a
risk-factor for upper extremity degeneration and cited the need
for quantitative measures of transfers and additional transfer
research [1]. The purpose of this pilot study was to collect
kinematic data on lateral transfers and identify different
transfer strategies.
