The examination will include a basic kinesiological analysis and a neurological examination,TUG test, 6MWT along with the Borg Subjective Weight Rating Scale and T25FWT, BBS, NHPT and stable sitting time in wheelchairs. To evaluate the development of the chest, the respiratory amplitude will be examined and the position of the spine in statics and dynamics will be evaluated using a spinal mouse.
