Treatment and study plan

Wheelchair Skills Training - Remote

Behavioral

Individuals will receive wheelchair skills training remotely. They will be provided with the Wheelchair Skills Training Program to review (http://www.wheelchairskillsprogram.ca/eng/index.php), and then will be directed to use this information to perform the wheelchair skills. They will video the attempts, and will receive feedback on methods to improve their techniques.

Wheelchair Skills Training - In Person

Behavioral

Individuals will receive wheelchair skills training in one-on-one sessions, taught by those who received the wheelchair skills training remotely.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in wheelchair skills capacity of trainees at study completion as measured by the Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire

    Time frame: Baseline, and at study completion ( an average of 3 weeks)

    Trainees will have increased capacity to perform wheelchair skills after receiving one-on-one skills training.

  2. Change from baseline in wheelchair skills confidence of trainees at study completion as measured by the Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire

    Time frame: Baseline, and at study completion ( an average of 3 weeks)

    Trainees will have increased confidence in their ability to perform wheelchair skills after receiving one-on-one skills training.
