Cool paper. I'd like to mention one slight error, however. Figure 1 (a basketball chair) is subtitled "Wheelchair designed for a disabled basketball player." But it's not. It's an ordinary (high end) basketball wheelchair. Doesn't matter who's in it (although more disabled than non-disabled people are likely to use it). As reported in the paper itself, one of the authors who is apparently nondisabled (at least as far as basketball goes) played wheelchair basketball. Nondisabled people play wheelchair basketball a lot, and in some leagues they are officially allowed to do so. (In Canada but not in the U.S. I've been told.) The chair depicted is imply a "Wheelchair basketball chair" - maybe a wealthy nondisabled sportsperson bought it! (Although in my experience most nondisabled wheelchair basketball players just use whatever old clunker their disabled friends are willing to lend them. We'd never give a walkie a good wheelchair basketball chair.).
