Abstract

Movements of head and neck, and upper limbs in rolling over motion were analyzed in patients with cervical spinal cord injury. Eleven patients with C6 spinal cord injury were studied, who were divided into a rolling over possible group and impossible group. Movements of the head and hand joints in upper limbs, which serve as a force source, were measured in rolling over motion with a three-dimensional motion analysis system. The results showed that all components of horizontal X, vertical Y and depth Z for parietal deviation, velocity and acceleration were significantly larger in the rolling over possible group. The three components of X, Y and Z were significantly larger in the possible group both for deviation and velocity in hand joint. For acceleration, X and Y components were significantly larger in the possible group. Taken together these experimental results show that the swing of the upper limb is used as a force source for rolling over and a strong swing was made toward the rolling over direction and shoulder joint bending direction in the possible group. Large acceleration was needed to move the upper limb rapidly, but a significant difference was found toward the rolling over direction and the vertical direction. Therefore, direction and speed were important factors in upper limb swing for rolling over.<br>
