GRAPHIC TOOL FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE PHYSICAL APTITUDESOF INDIVIDUALS CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR
The evaluation to assess the functional autonomy of someone using a wheel-chair is complex since, besides the characteristics of the disease, it assesses physical abilities, equilibrium, emotional control and coordination.
Based on a rigorous description of the tests and the methodology used to evaluate the expected aptitudes of patients, this paper presents an original graphic tool, allowing for the quick determination of the effective potential and a rationalisation of professional practices.
