Relevance – When executing turning maneuvers, manual wheelchair users must overcome rotational inertia of wheelchair system.

Changes in inertia and effect on turning effort across different wheelchair configurations. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(10):1353–62. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2012.12.0219 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2012.12.0219JSP Results Configuration with highest rotational inertia (solid tires, mag wheels with rearward axle) exceeded configuration with lowest (pneumatic tires, spoke wheels with forward axle) by 28%. Greater inertia requires increased torque to accelerate wheelchair during turning. At representative maximum acceleration, reactive torque was 11.7 to 15.0 N-m across wheelchair configurations. – At higher accelerations, torques exceeded that required to overcome caster scrub during turning.

Categorizing wheelchairs using both mass and rotational inertia would better represent differences in effort during wheelchair maneuvers.
