Handbike (HB) is an arm propelled device of locomotion for subjects with lower limbs disabilities. Handcycling has become a Paralympics discipline, increasing the need to study how lesion level may influence posture on HB and energy cost during exercise. The aim was also to test how postures different from the free chosen one might influence functional parameters during exercise.

Abstract
Handbike (HB) is an arm propelled device of locomotion for subjects with lower limbs disabilities. Handcycling has become a Paralympics discipline, increasing the need to study how lesion level may influence posture on HB and energy cost during exercise. The aim was also to test how postures different from the free chosen one might influence functional parameters during exercise.
