Design of an adjustable wheelchair for table tennis participation.

CONCLUSIONS: Para table tennis has some specific requirements related to movements and posture which were improved by a new wheelchair design specific for the sport. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Many adaptive sports are improved with sport specific technology. A model client was used to develop a wheelchair specifically for adaptive table tennis. The height and angle of the seat of the new wheelchair can be adjusted for optimal stability and reach. The casters of the new wheelchair can be locked to allow only forward and backward motion.
