Key Points

This research aims to describe the 24-hour movement behaviour of manual wheelchair users, examining variations by sex and disability characteristics.
Cross-sectional design focusing on manual wheelchair users.
Utilized accelerometry to measure movement behaviour over a 24-hour period.
Analyzed differences based on sex, severity of disability, and timing of onset.
Identified distinct patterns of movement behaviour between male and female wheelchair users.
Noted variations in activity levels based on the severity of disability.
Timing of disability onset influenced overall movement behaviour.

Implication

Cross-sectional study describes movement behaviour among manual wheelchair users, highlighting sex and disability factors.
