摘要：Devices for swimmers with arm amputation/deficiency have not been developed a lot and therefore many improvements can be realized. Although swimmers often use paddles during training, paddles on the market are basically for swimmers without amputation/deficiency. The objective of this study was to analyze the swimming motion of a swimmer with unilateral transradial deficiency and to obtain the findings for development of better training paddles. The crawl stroke was filmed for a swimmer with unilateral transradial deficiency. The body geometry as well as the joint motion based on the filmed images were put into the swimming human simulation model SWUM, and a simulation was conducted. From the simulation, the coordination and thrusts of both limbs were obtained and fully discussed. Overall, significant asymmetry between the intact and deficient limbs was found. It was also found that the deficient limb contributed to the propulsion only for 7% of the intact limb.
