In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Wheelchair users must be able to move around freely and access public buildings and transport, but current accessibility standards (e.g. maximum 8% ramp slope) are based on limited scientific evidence about the real biomechanical and perceived difficulties encountered by manual wheelchair users in daily life. Manual wheelchair propulsion is not purely a motor activity: it also involves cognitive and emotional demands (attention, trajectory planning, stress and frustration management) that contribute to a mental workload. This cognitive dimension is still rarely integrated into biomechanical evaluation protocols. This exploratory (pilot) study aims to test the feasibility of a protocol combining objective biomechanical data (shoulder joint loading estimated from motion capture and instrumented handrims) with the subjective experience of participants (perceived physical demand from the N
