Instrumentation of a handbike for biomechanical measurements

The work describes a new instrumented cycloergometer simulating the use of a handbike. It allows the collection of several biomechanical and physiological data during exertion at a predefined mechanical work while simulating real road conditions. The cycloergometer is intended for various applications such as biomechanical and physiological studies, periodical clinical evaluations and training sessions.
