“…Although BID is a gold standard for biomechanical data measurement [41], the small number of studies in Paralympic fields shows a lack of scientists' interest to use the method in their studies. Among the included studies, 50% were performed in Brazil in years 2015-2018 [32][33][34][35][36], which indicates a tendency of Brazilian researchers to investigate this topic to a higher degree than in the case of other countries, particularly in the recent years.…”

“…Five studies were accomplished in Brazil [32][33][34][35][36], 2 in the Netherlands [37,38], 1 in the United states [39], 1 in Poland [25], and 1 in New Zealand [40]. the total number of participants in the 10 studies was 219, with 149 being para-athletes; the size of the sample ranged from 4 to 42 subjects.…”

“…the total number of participants in the 10 studies was 219, with 149 being para-athletes; the size of the sample ranged from 4 to 42 subjects. Four of the studies indicated the subjects' sex; in these papers, all participants were men (98 men among the 149 para-athletes) [33][34][35]39]. the remaining 6 studies, which included 51 participants, did not present clear sex difference numbers.…”

“…Flowchart of the study phases the most often used BID (6 studies) was the Biodex Medical system 3 Pro (UsA) [27, 32-34, 37, 39]. two studies applied the Biodex system 4 Pro [33,34], and 2 studies did not provide information about the Biodex system used [38,40]. BID measurements were performed for a variety of joints or body segments in the included studies: for the knee in 4 studies [32,35,37,38], for the elbow in 2 studies [36,39], for the shoulder in 2 studies [25,40], and for the trunk in 2 studies [33,34].…”

Purpose. Isokinetic dynamometers are machines that can supply multiple elements for measuring muscle strength, peak force, power, endurance, and angle of maximal force. the purpose of this study was to run a systematic review to find the quality of evidence in studies evaluating the gold standard isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex) in Paralympic sports. Methods. the search strategy was defined as: ('Paralympic' Or 'Paralympic sport' Or 'Parasport' Or 'disabled athlete' Or 'athletes with a disability') AND ('strength' Or 'isokinetic' Or 'torque' Or 'muscle strength dynamometer' Or 'isokinetic dynamometer' Or 'Biodex'). Four databases were searched: PubMed, Cochrane, scienceDirect, and scopus. Results. From the 981 articles initially found, 10 records were finally included in this systematic review. Five articles were selected as high quality. the Biodex isokinetic dynamometer was introduced about 3 decades ago; still, a small number of papers (10) have been published on applying it in Paralympic sports. We observed different experimental protocols in the included studies. the shortage of standardization in the experimental protocols precludes pooling data for analyses. Conclusions. As the Biodex isokinetic dynamometer is a gold standard, reliable, and valid instrument to measure human joint function, future research should apply it in Paralympic studies.

“…As critical as this skill is to wheelchair users, very little research has been conducted on this aspect of wheelchair mobility, particularly with respect to functional capacity. Seated balance is impaired in wheelchair users across a functional spectrum [5], and this is demonstrated by the high incidence of falls in this population. In one study of 659 wheelchair users, 31% reported a total of 553 fall events, with 15% of these occurring during wheelchair propulsion [6].…”

Background: Manual wheelchair braking induces an upper body angular impulse which must be controlled by joint moments to prevent a forward fall. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of trunk functional capacity (low, high) on the rate of change in sagittal plane upper body angular momentum during manual wheelchair braking. Methods: Eight wheelchair users (4 low function, 4 high function) completed 10 trials of abrupt wheelchair braking. Trunk segment angles and abdominal joint angles, and normalized upper-body angular impulses were computed for each trial. Linear mixed effects models with initial velocity as a covariate were used to determine differences between groups. Results: The low function group had a higher angular impulse than the high function group with a mean difference (MD) ± SE of 1.59 ± 0.65 N∙m∙s/kg/m2, with a 95% CI 0.287 to 2.89, p = 0.018. The low function group also had a higher trunk segment extension angle, MD = –13.98 degrees, 95% CI: –26.27 to –1.69, p = .027. The low function group employed a greater trunk segment range of motion during braking when compared to the high function group, MD = 12.14 degrees, 95% CI: –24.48 to 0.21, p = 0.054. Lower trunk functional capacity wheelchair users had a higher fall risk during braking. Conclusion: Wheelchair users with less trunk function may be at increased risk of suffering a fall when bringing their wheelchair to an abrupt stop due to an impaired ability to arrest angular momentum.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training associated with interval training on respiratory muscle strength and fatigue and aerobic physical performance (PP) in high-performance wheelchair basketball athletes. Methods: Blinded, randomized clinical trial with 17 male wheelchair basketball players, randomized into control group (CG; n = 8) and training group (TG; n = 9). Respiratory muscle strength was evaluated by measuring maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP and MEP), aerobic PP by the Yo-Yo test for wheelchair, and recovery of inspiratory muscle fatigue was assessed at 1, 5, 10, and 15 minutes after exercise test. TG performed inspiratory muscle training protocol with incremental loading for 12 weeks with 50%, 60%, and 70% of MIP, while CG performed with load 15% of MIP. Results: After training period, CG presented a significant increase in MIP and MEP (P ≤ .05), with no change in aerobic PP (P ≥ .05). TG showed a significant increase for all variables (≤.05). MIP showed a large effect size for CG (1.00) and TG (1.35), while MEP showed a moderate effect for CG (0.61) and TG (0.73); distance covered had a moderate effect size for TG (0.70). For recovery of inspiratory muscle strength, CG did not present differences, while TG recovered in 10 minutes (≤.05), representing 87% of the pretest value. Positive and significant correlation between MIP and distance (.54; P ≤ .05) was observed. Conclusion: Inspiratory muscle training protocol with progressive loading was more effective for increasing aerobic PP and maximal inspiratory strength recovery.
