Medical rehabilitation and assistive technology are immersed in a world
transitioning to a basis in evidence-based practice. Fortunately, there is a
growing body of knowledge related to manual wheelchair mobility to form a basis
for clinical decision making.
The results from research studies are useful for
designing better wheelchairs, fitting and training people appropriately,
contributing to evidence-based-medicine and guiding future research. This review
describes some of the work related to manual wheelchairs that has and is being
conducted within the University of Pittsburgh and the Human Engineering Research
Laboratories of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and its application.
