Intervention area
Mobility
Start date
April 1, 2021
End date
April 1, 2022
This project aims to create an electronic and software system for instrumented wheels (NextWheel) that will allow 1) a continuity in research in manual wheelchair biomechanics, at a time when no instrumented wheel has been commercially available since 2014; and 2) addressing the reliability and versatility of the SmartWheel instrumented wheel.
