Hughes, B.; Sawartzky, B. J.; Hol, A. T.: A comparison of spinergy versus standard steel-spoke wheelchair wheels. I: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2005(86), s. 596-601.Language: EngelskSummary: The objectives of the study were to compare the energy efficiency of straight-line wheeling using Spinergy wheels as compared with standard steel-spoke wheels, and to assess the 2 wheels in terms of user comfort and wheeling preference during a wheeling course with multiple turns and surfaces. Twenty persons with paraplegia participated in the study. Conclusions: Spinergy wheels provided a more comfortable ride, but did not differ from standard steel-spoked wheels in terms of energy efficiency. The increased comfort may have important implications in patient management of pain and spasticity.
