The goal of our study is to provide wheelchair users with a novel device that allows them to easily see their calorie consumption while exercising to prevent metabolic syndrome. We previously proposed a system that measures wheelchair movement using a rotary encoder and accelerometer, and counted the number of wheelchair strokes for three levels of acceleration intensity. This paper presents the experimental...
The goal of our study was to provide wheelchair users with a novel device that allows them to easily determine the level of activity necessary to prevent metabolic syndrome. Previously, we proposed a system that measured wheelchair movements using a rotary encoder and accelerometer, and counted the number of wheelchair strokes for three levels of acceleration intensity.

The goal of our study is to provide wheelchair users with the novel device that can easily acquire the amount of activity for prevention of metabolic syndrome. In this paper, we proposed a small device which can count the number of the wheelchair strokes when wheelchair users drive their manual wheelchair. The device counts the number of the wheelchair strokes by detecting the peak of the forward...
In an effort to make activity monitors usable by manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI), our study examines the validity of SenseWearreg Armband (SenseWear) and RT3 in assessing energy expenditure (EE) during wheelchair related activities. This paper presents the data obtained from six subjects (n=6) with SCI performing three activities, including wheelchair propulsion, armergometer...
