Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to get basic data of wheelchair propulsion movements with one leg of normal persons. [Subjects] Three normal persons participated in this study. [Methods] The wheelchair propulsion movements with one leg were recorded by a 3D motion analysis system, VICON. [Results] It was shown that the pelvis and the trunk moved to the opposite direction in the horizontal and frontal planes. The drive speed, stride and cadence rose as the trunk inclined backwards in propulsion. [Conclusion] The resulys suggest that normal persons could maintain a symmetric posture in one-legged wheelchair propulsion.
