  1. 1. Active wheelchair use in daily life : considerations for mobility and seating

    Författare :Kersti Samuelsson; Gunnevi Sundelin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Wheelchair fit and prescription are central in the rehabilitation process of a spinal cord injured client with an impaired walking ability. The knowledge and consequences of wheelchair use in active wheelchair users is deficient, which might lead to unnecessary problems and disabilities. LÄS MER
