Findings:Sitting in WO-BPS posture did not alter wheelchair users’ reaching ability. Compared withNormal posture, sitting in WO-BPS posture did not significantly change the overall Publications Nathan Coomer, Lance Labno, Michelle Carlevato, Lynnea Pemberton, Jane Quach, Evan McLeod, Fang Lin, Mohsen Makhsous (2006) Reaching Performance Using a New Seat Design in Wheelchair Users with Spinal Cord Injury, RESNA 29th Int.
