Effect of Fatiguing Wheelchair Propulsion and Weight Relief Lifts on Subacromial Space in Wheelchair Users

Abstract: ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify targets of intervention for reducing shoulder pain in wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI) by (1) examining changes in subacromial space [acromiohumeral distance (AHD) and occupation ratio (OccRatio)] with fatiguing wheelchair propulsion, and different loading conditions [unloaded position vs. weight relief lifts (WRL)]; (2) associating these changes with wheelchair user capacity, as well as (3) identifying subject characteristics associated with subacromial spac… Show more

“…The use of ultrasound to measure AHD has been widely described in SCI populations [7,17,20,28]. Since this is a safe procedure easily to maneuver in the clinics, the US is wellknown and regarded as the optimal point-of-care modality to image the shoulders.…”

“…This study, with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, was part of a larger project registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT03153033; Registration date: 15 May 2017) ( Bossuyt et al, 2020a ; Bossuyt et al, 2020c ; Bossuyt et al, 2020d ; Arnet et al, 2022a ). Ethical approval was granted by the Ethikkommision Nordwest-und Zentralschweiz (Project-ID: 2017-00355).…”

“…The standardized procedures prior to the F8F lasted for about 3 h and included preparations for EMG and kinematic measurements, completion of questionnaires, wheelchair propulsion (15 m sprint and propulsion on a treadmill) and ultrasound examination of the shoulder. For further details on these assessments, which will not be part of the analysis in the current study, please consider the following publications: Bossuyt et al (2020a) ; Bossuyt et al (2020b) ; Bossuyt et al (2020d) ; Arnet et al (2022a) . These previous studies published results from this dataset including changes in treadmill propulsion biomechanics and ultrasound measures of shoulder tendons and acromiohumeral distance before and after the F8F.…”

“…Several wheelchair related tasks have been associated with a higher risk for shoulder problems: daily wheelchair propulsion, 4 transfers in and out of the wheelchair, 5 and pressure relief lifts for pressure injury prevention. 6 Wheelchair propulsion is a predominant activity in manual wheelchair users and approximately 1400 pushes are done throughout a day. 7 The repetitiveness may predispose tissue degeneration over time demonstrating the need to optimize the load on the shoulder.…”
