Outline of Final Research Achievements

Thoracic cage support is an important support at wheelchair. I tested respiratory metabolism about thoracic cage support backrest (this back rest is from seat end to height of Th12, material: rigid urethane 2cm thickness) of wheelchair during wheelchairs’driving because of revealing the comfort of this support. Results are as follows. As statistical processing, test data was processed paired t-test. VCO2((on support : 334.4±73.6ml/min, off support:345.8±71.9ml/min ), VE (on support : 12.7±2.1 l/min, off support:13.1±2.3ml/min) are significant. I think that Thoracic cage support backrest reduced carbon dioxide output. It means that this support may make muscle action light. And I guess that this back rest may support spine. Because many subjects said that it was comfortable for them around pelvis. When we coordinate sheeting, we may determine thoracic cage support at first. Because it is easy for us to determine pelvic support and shape of back after that.
