Which adaptation would BEST improve movement efficiency for a person with limited lower limb mobility using a wheelchair?

  1. Increased arm length
  2. Higher seat position
  3. Forward tilted seat
  4. Lower center of gravity
Show Answers Only

\(D\)

Show Worked Solution

Consider Option D: Lower centre of gravity

  • Lower center of gravity improves stability and reduces energy needed for movement control

Other Options:

  • A: Not modifiable/not relevant to efficiency
  • B: Would decrease stability and efficiency
  • C: Would increase energy needs for stability

\(\Rightarrow D\)
