Comparison of glenohumeral joint kinematics between manual wheelchair tasks and implications on the subacromial space: A biplane fluoroscopy study.

ABSTRACT: Scapula and humerus motion associated with common manual wheelchair tasks is hypothesized to reduce the subacromial space. However, previous work relied on either marker-based motion capture for kinematic measures, which is prone to skin-motion artifact; or ultrasound imaging for arthrokinematic measures, which are 2D and acquired in statically-held positions. The aim of this study was to use a fluoroscopy-based approach to accurately quantify glenohumeral kinematics during manual wheelchair use, and compare tasks for a subset of parameters theorized to be associated with mechanical impingement. Biplane images of the dominant shoulder were acquired during scapular plane elevation, propulsion, sideways lean, and weight-relief raise in ten manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury. A c
