Applications developed by the research center.
As part of its research activities, the center develops computation tools dedicated to data processing, data analysis, and simulation. In accordance with the principles of open science and knowledge sharing, the center has chosen to provide some of these Tools to the scientific community, healthcare professionals, and actors in disability sports. You will find here a list of the available applications, designed to support research and clinical and parasport practices, and intended to evolve in line with future scientific advances. We welcome your feedback on these tools.
Miniaturized inertial measurement units are increasingly used to quantify manual wheelchair mobility. This application enables simple processing of data from inertial sensors to segment signals into locomotion tasks (static periods, forward propulsion, backward propulsion, and rotations) for subsequent analyses. Designed to overcome barriers related to the complexity of data processing, it provides users with a ready-to-use online tool that requires no programming. Data are never uploaded to or stored on the site, ensuring complete confidentiality. The application is available in French, English, and Spanish.
The Swapp application allows users to assess the impact of manual wheelchair settings on mobility parameters. It provides simulation tools to personalize both the user and the wheelchair, estimate key indicators (center of gravity, rolling resistance, footprint, etc.), and includes a module to extract wheelchair geometry from two photographs. Researchers will find value in evaluating the mechanical parameters of the wheelchairs used in their studies, while occupational therapy schools will benefit from raising awareness of the impact of wheelchair adjustments on manual wheelchair mobility. The application ensures complete data confidentiality and is available in French, English, and Spanish.
