The purpose of this investigation was to compare peak performance capabilities of male paraplegics with arm crank and wheelchair ergometry. Eleven male paraplegics (aged 26.0 +/- 4.5 year) with spinal lesions at levels ranging from T5 to L4 were assessed during arm cranking and while propelling a wheelchair on a treadmill. Subjects completed both tests in randomised order within a 1 week period with a minimum of 48 hours between tests. Based on the data analysis, peak VO2 for the treadmill and arm crank were not significantly different while HR values for the treadmill were significantly greater (P less than 0.05) when compared to arm crank. A regression analysis indicated that wheelchair treadmill peak VO2 values can be accurately predicted from arm crank peak VO2 (r = 0.74).
本研究的目的是比较男性截瘫患者使用手臂曲柄和轮椅测力计的峰值运动能力。对11名男性截瘫患者（年龄26.0±4.5岁）进行了评估，这些患者的脊髓损伤水平在T5至L4之间，评估内容包括手臂曲柄运动以及在跑步机上推动轮椅时的情况。受试者在1周内以随机顺序完成两项测试，两次测试之间至少间隔48小时。基于数据分析，跑步机和手臂曲柄运动时的峰值摄氧量无显著差异，而跑步机运动时的心率值与手臂曲柄运动相比显著更高（P<0.05）。回归分析表明，可根据手臂曲柄运动的峰值摄氧量准确预测轮椅跑步机运动的峰值摄氧量（r = 0.74）。
