Table tennis for wheelchair users

L. Gysemans

pp. 109-114

Abstract

Existing table tennis skills tests are designed for able-bodied players, so we decided to develop ones for wheelchair users, adapting test and exercise situations from Barbu (1978) the BOIC (1987), Grumbach and Dassel (1975), Loctin and Parmentier (1977), Simpson (1983), Harst et al. (1979), Kucht (1982), Boon et al. (1977), Storm (1983), Vanlerberghe (1984, 1988), and applying techniques described by Barbu (1978) and Dorpmans and Joon (1986), Tigerman and Schar-roo (1972). We used twelve tests that measure skills of wheelchair handling, shoulder flexibility, ballcontrol, sitting balance, forehand and backhand playing. The principal aim of these tests was to determine their reliability by means of a test-retest system (different trials) in order to focus on each player's weaknesses or strengths.
