Overview

To establish the preliminary utility of a novel pediatric manual mobile standing wheelchair (PedMMSWC).

Interventions

  • Device PedMMSWC Wheelchair User Testing
    The PedMMSWC standing wheelchair prototype will be tested and compared with a standing frame during Experiment 1: In-Lab Testing.
  • Device PedMMSWC Simulated Home, School, Community Environment
    The PedMMSWC standing wheelchair will be tested in a simulated home, school, and community environment. Participants will be given assigned tasks and be scored on completion of activities.

Primary outcome measures

  • Comparison of a modified Wheelchair Skills Test with Participants wheelchair to the PedMMSWC [Time frame: Day 1]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
  • 100-Meter Roll Test (meters per second) [Time frame: Day 1]
  • 100-Meter Roll Test (perceived exertion) [Time frame: Day 1]
  • Pressure Mapping (peak pressure (mm/hg)) [Time frame: Day 1]
  • Pressure Mapping (coefficient of variation) [Time frame: Day 1]
  • Functional Mobility Assessment - Family Centered (FMA-FC) [Time frame: Day 1 or 2]
  • Participant and Caregiver Perceptions of Device [Time frame: Day 1 or Day 2]
  • System Usability Scale [Time frame: Visit 1]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • 8 - 17 years old
  • Primarily use a manual wheelchair for daily mobility
  • Are actively enrolled in a standing program
  • Fit the height and weight requirements of the PedMMSWC
  • Can follow simple verbal instructions
  • Are able to speak and read in English

Exclusion criteria

  • Have insufficient trunk control to maneuver in seated and standing positions
  • Have lower limb contracture which would preclude standing
  • Have had orthopedic surgery within the last twelve months
  • Have pressure injuries at the location where the PedMMSWC interfaces
  • Have insufficient fine motor skills to independently initiate the sit-to-stand function
  • Have a history of uncontrolled seizures or cardiovascular conditions that would make participation unsafe

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
