Primary outcomes

  1. Wheelchair satisfaction

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of one month

    The patients' level of satisfaction with the features of the standing powered wheelchair will be evaluated with a 5-point Likert scale (from (1) not satisfied at all to (5) very satisfied). Dissatisfaction reason will be noted.

  2. Wheelchair comfort

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of one month

    The patients' overall comfort level while using the standing powered wheelchair and the comfort level in some regions of the body (e.g. back, arms) in the standing position will be evaluated with a 5-point Likert scale (from (1) not satisfied at all to (5) very satisfied).

  3. Wheelchair repair

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of one month

    Participants will be asked whether the standing powered wheelchair needs repairs and the area repaired.

  4. Adverse and positive experiences

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of one month

    Participants will be asked about their adverse and positive experiences with the use of standing powered wheelchair
