Design Multicenter cross-sectional study. Setting Rehabilitation centers and communities. Participants Participants (N=152) included caregivers (n=76) and wheelchair users (n=76). Interventions None. Main Outcome Measures Version 4.3 of the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST) and the Wheelchair Skills Test-Questionnaire (WST-Q). For each of the 30 individual skills, we recorded data about the wheelchair user alone and in combination (blended) with the caregiver. Results The mean total WST capacity scores + SD for the wheelchair users alone and blended were 78.1%+9.3% and 92.4%+6.1%, respectively, with a mean difference of 14.3%+8.7% (P<.0001 the mean wst-q capacity scores sd were and respectively with a difference of confidence differences corresponded to relative improvements respectively. nature benefits caregivers assistance could be summarized in themes caregiver provides verbal support coaching reporting about environment> Conclusions Caregivers significantly enhance the wheelchair skills capacity and confidence of the power wheelchair users to whom they provide assistance, and they do so in a variety of ways. These findings have significance for wheelchair skills assessment and training. |
