Managing health problems when using wheelchairs off-road (is held in English)

Whole Body Vibration causes many problems for wheelchair users, as it compacts the spine, trapping tissue and nerves.

The vibration can also cause or worsen pressure sores. We examine the academic and clinic studies, and explore the possible solutions as speeds increase due to power attachments. We explain how different wheel solutions perform against ISO 2631-1 (which seeks to limit the amount of vibration anyone is exposed to, in order to protect their health), and recommend a way forwards. We look forward to seeing you there and answering any questions that you have.
