During the last years, manual wheelchair propulsion in daily life and sports is increasingly being studied. We analyzed shoulder joint kinetics while propelling a wheelchair placed on a treadmill and compare shoulder joint net forces and moments of wheelchair propulsion on the treadmill in athlete group and non-athlete group. Ten subjects with thoracic spinal cord injury participated in this studied. A kinematic analysis system consisting of four camcorders (Kinescan-IBV) and a kinetic device that registered the contact force of the hand on the pushrim (SmartWheel) were used in to different protocols using a pulley system. The propulsion is different in the same conditions in both groups. Significant increases in shoulder joint loading were observed in wheelchair athlete group.
