Wheelchair Propulsion: Techniques for Efficiency
Most wheelchair users develop their pushing technique by accident. Years of pushes shape what feels natural, which isn't always what's efficient. KIVRO walks through what good propulsion actually looks like, and why the chair's geometry decides whether good technique is even possible.
