Optimal ergonomics is an important concept for wheelchair users, who push on their wheels an average of 2,000-3,000 times per day. As many as 75% of wheelchair users develop pain over time from pushing on their chairs.
However, changes to propulsion style and an improved handrim can create lasting relief from this chronic pain. In this Webcast, David Boninger, PhD, vice president of Three Rivers Holdings, Mesa, Ariz, shares with us why ergonomics matter and how therapists can help wheelchair users reduce stress on every push.
