Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) An aim of this study is to evaluate upper arm muscular activity when a subject rows the self-propelled wheelchair whose seat width is different. We changed the seat width of wheelchair to "+2cm", "+6cm","+10cm"and "+14cm" of hip width of a subject. We compared upper arm muscular activity at that time. We used surface electromyogram to evaluate muscular activity. Target muscle is the biceps brachii muscle, the triceps brachii muscle, the deltoid muscle, the pectoralis major muscle, the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and the brachioradialis muscle. We used three-dimensional motion analysis device and electromyogram measurement and measured an action. We compared a difference of upper arm muscular activity per one cycle of an action to row a self-propelled wheelchair. The result shows that as the seat width became big, there was the subject that upper arm muscular activity increased.
