Feasibility, safety and effectiveness of a home-based self-managed high-intensity interval training program offered to long-term manual wheelchair users.

Feasibility, safety and effectiveness of a home-based self-managed high-intensity interval training program offered to long-term manual wheelchair users.

Home-based wheelchair HIIT appears feasible and safe although potential development of shoulder pain remains a concern and should be addressed with a future preventive shoulder exercise program.

Unmatched perception of speeds between overground and treadmill manual wheelchair propulsion in long-term manual wheelchair users.

Unmatched perception of speeds between overground and treadmill manual wheelchair propulsion in long-term manual wheelchair users.

Manual wheelchair (MWC) propulsion is increasingly assessed on a motorized treadmill (TM), which is often considered more ecologically valid than stationary rollers.

Locomotor training using an overground robotic exoskeleton in long-term manual wheelchair users with a chronic spinal cord injury living in the community: Lessons learned from a feasibility study in terms of recruitment, attendance, learnability, performance and safety.

Locomotor training using an overground robotic exoskeleton in long-term manual wheelchair users with a chronic spinal cord injury living in the community: Lessons learned from a feasibility study in terms of recruitment, attendance, learnability, performance and safety.

For individuals who sustain a complete motor spinal cord injury (SCI) and rely on a wheelchair as their primary mode of locomotion, overground robotic exoskeletons represent a promising solution to stand and walk again.

Introduction to special section: measuring what matters.

Introduction to special section: measuring what matters.

In 2015, ISOQOL President, Claire Snyder, PhD, and the ISOQOL Board introduced two key themes for ISOQOL to focus on over the coming years: Measuring What Matters (e.g., what outcomes should we measure) and Making Measurement Meaningful (e.g., what do the scores mean).
