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]
