Why a suitable wheelchair matters

A wheelchair is not just a mobility aid—it is essential for health, independence, and participation. Poorly fitted or generic chairs can cause pain, postural deformities, and pressure injuries, while appropriate seating improves comfort,...

Biomechanics in rehabilitation: from movement data to better recovery

Biomechanics helps rehabilitation by objectively measuring how people with disabilities move and interact with forces. Tools such as motion capture, force plates, and EMG quantify gait, joint motion, muscle...

What information can biomechanics provide to support decision-making in sports?

Sports biomechanics provides objective, quantitative data on how athletes move and how forces act on their bodies. Through kinematics and kinetics (joint angles, velocities, forces), tools like motion...
