Wheeled mobility skills of wheelchair basketball players: a randomized controlled study

Abstract

Participation in regular wheelchair basketball sport may preserve and augment functional abilities in with wheelchair user Implications for rehabilitation The skills-sports relationship is reciprocal. With increased wheelchair skills, people may be more inclined to engage in sports; subsequently, with greater sports, wheelchair skills could improve. Wheelchair mobility skills during clinical rehabilitation should reflect the daily activities and needs of each wheelchair user. WST-Q provides advantages in terms of requiring less time and material in using of clinical.

Relationship between wheelchair skills scores and peak aerobic exercise capacity of manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury: a cross-sectional study

“…This study has replicated and extended the work of Kilkens et al [16], by using the WST-Q rather than the Wheelchair Circuit as the measure of wheelchair skills and by studying experienced, community-dwelling wheelchair users rather than those undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. Our findings are also consistent with those of Saltan et al [29] who reported that WST-Q scores were higher in basketball players (who were probably fit) than nonplayers. We were able to corroborate our hypothesis that there are significant relationships between wheelchair skills scores and PO peak .…”

“…The overall goal of this study was to replicate and extend the work of Kilkens et al [16] by using the WST-Q (as Saltan et al [29] have done) rather than the Wheelchair Circuit as the measure of wheelchair skills and by studying experienced, community-dwelling wheelchair users rather than those undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that there are moderate relationships between the total WST-Q capacity, confidence, and performance scores and the PO peak values (as measured by a graded wheelchair exercise test on a motorized treadmill) of experienced, community-dwelling manual wheelchair users with SCI.…”

“…Total WST-Q capacity scores are also correlated with WST-Q confidence and performance scores, but exceed these values slightly [26][27][28]. Saltan et al [29] found that the total WST-Q capacity and performance scores of wheelchair basketball players were significantly higher than those of non-players.…”

The Determination of Demografic Characteristics That the Effect of Activity Levels in Wheelchair Users : Comparative Study

“…4 Dahası, literatüre göre, eğitim düzeyi günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ve sosyal katılım fonksiyonlarını etkileyebilir. [7][8][9] Akçay ve ark.nın çalışmasında, engelli bireylerin aldıkları eğitimin yaşamlarını kolaylaştırmada etkili olduğu, engellinin ve ailesinin sosyo-kültürel düzeyinin, ulaşım ve erişilebilirliliğe ait düzenlemeleri etkilediğini bulmuşlardır. 10 Sporcuların eğitim ve çalışma oranlarının, kontrol grubuna göre yüksek olmasının, spor sayesinde kazanılan hareket etme becerisindeki artış ile ilişkili olduğunu düşünüyoruz.…”

Kadin Tekerlekli̇ Sandalye Basketbolcularinda Fonksi̇yonel Bağimsizlik, Yaşam Kali̇tesi̇ Ve Tekerlekli̇ Sandalye Beceri̇leri̇ni̇n Araştirilmasi

“…İçerisinde yer alan baş üzerinden top atmayakalama, tekerlekli sandalye ile sağa-sola dönme, ileri geri sürme ve yerden top alma gibi aktiviteler günlük yaşam ile uyumludur (33). Elit TSB sporcularında yapılan bir çalışmada bireylerin en çok "geri geri tekerlekli sandalye sürme" ve "yürüyen merdivenden inip-çıkmada" zorlandıklarını belirtmişlerdir (23). Literatürde en çok zorlanılan becerilerin, 15 cm yüksekliğe çıkma, sabit tekerlek becerisi ve 10° eğimli rampa çıkma aktiviteleri olduğu belirlenmiştir (13,26,34…”
