ABSTRACT : Wheelchairs compensate for motor dysfunctions, and transform bipedal locomotion to the seated position. The upper limbs become the locomotive limbs. This antiphysiological means of locomotion leads to various specific pathologies, which are mainly neurological and osteoarticular. The purpose of this thesis is to make a significant contribution in the field of biomechanics of wheelchair propulsion by developing tools. These theoretical and experimental tools are mechanical modelling of forces during wheelchair moving, an outdoor kinematics analyse system and an outdoor instrumented wheelchair, called CERAHFIT. We show that integrating rolling resistance parameter is essential to get realistic modelling. Our kinematics analyse syst...
