Biomechanical Modelling of Paralympic Wheelchair Curling

Laschowski, Brock (University of Waterloo, 2016-08-30)

This research represents the first documented investigation into the biomechanics and neural motor control of Paralympic wheelchair curling. A multibody biomechanical model of the wheelchair curling delivery was developed ...
Body segment parameters of Paralympic athletes from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry

Laschowski, Brock; McPhee, John (Springer, 2016-09)

This research represents the first documented investigation into the body segment parameters of Paralympic athletes (e.g., individuals with spinal cord injuries and lower extremity amputations). Two-dimensional body segment ...
