Abstract
Background: Energy expenditure is of paramount importance in the
assessment of usefulness of wheelchair for paraplegics. Despite
widespread recognition of problems associated with currently available
mobility systems for persons with spinal cord injuries, development
of more efficient systems has been slow. Lack of a suitable
and simple technique for the assessment of energy expenditure in
paraplegics has perhaps contributed to this slowness
