What is Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Stability Analysis about?
This study developed an analytical technique to quantify stability during manual wheelchair propulsion based on Floquet theory. The technique uses a Poincare map and Jacobian matrix to analyze kinematic data and determine stability based on the eigenvalues. Testing on one participant at 40% and 80% of their maximum speed found the motion was stable at 40% but unstable at 80%, with three eigenvalues outside the unit circle. This technique provides a way to detect instabilities that could result from injury o
