Summary, etc.
Shoulder pain is common in manual wheelchair (MWC) users. Overuse is thought to be a major cause, but little is known about exposure to activities of daily living (ADLs). The study goal was to develop a method to estimate three conditions in the field: (1) non-propulsion activity, (2) MWC propulsion, and (3) static time using an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Upper arm IMU data were collected as ten MWC users performed lab-based MWC-related ADLs. A neural network model was developed to classify data as non-propulsion activity, propulsion, or static, and validated for the lab-based data collection by video comparison. Six of the participants' free-living IMU data were collected and the lab-based model was applied to estimate daily non-propulsion activity, propulsion, and static time. The neural network model yielded lab-based validity measures ≥0.87 for differentiating non-propulsion activity, propulsion, and static time. A quasi-validation of one participant's field-based data yielded validity measures ≥0.66 for identifying propulsion. Participants' estimated mean daily non-propulsion activity, propulsion, and static time ranged from 158-409, 13-25, and 367-609 mins, respectively. The preliminary results suggest the model may be able to accurately identify MWC users' field-based activities. The inclusion of field-based IMU data in the model could further improve field-based classification.
