Objectives To describe the wheelchair skills capacity and performance of experienced manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to assess measurement properties of the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST) and Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire (WST-Q). Design Cross-sectional descriptive study involving within-subject comparisons. Setting Four Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems centers. Participants Manual wheelchair users with SCI (N=117). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures WST and WST-Q version 4.2 as well as measures for Confidence, Basic Mobility, Independence, Ability to Participate, Satisfaction, and Pain Interference. Results The median (interquartile range) values for WST capacity, WST-Q capacity, and WST-Q performance were 81.0% (69.0%–90.0%), 88.0% (77.0%–97.0%), and 76.0% (66.3%–84.0%). The total WST capacity scores correlated significantly with the total WST-Q capacity scores (r=.76; P<.01 and wst-q performance scores p the total capacity were correlated significantly success rates for of individual skills on wst wst-q. regression models measures identified statistically significant predictors including age sex body mass index level injury. with confidence basic mobility independence or pain interference measures.> Conclusions Many people with SCI are unable to or do not perform some of the wheelchair skills that would allow them to participate more fully. More wheelchair skills training may enhance participation and quality of life of adults with SCI. The WST and WST-Q exhibit good content, construct, and concurrent validity. |
