| Résumé : | Objective To evaluate the driving performance and usability of a mobility enhancement robot (MEBot) wheelchair with 2 innovative dynamic suspensions compared with commercial electric powered wheelchair (EPW) suspensions on non-American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant surfaces. The 2 dynamic suspensions used pneumatic actuators (PA) and electro-hydraulic with springs in series electrohydraulic and spring in series (EHAS). Design Within-subjects cross-sectional study. Driving performance and usability were evaluated using quantitative measures and standardized tools, respectively. Setting Laboratory settings that simulated common EPW outdoor driving tasks. Participants 10 EPW users (5 women, 5 men) with an average age of 53.9+11.5 years and 21.2+16.3 years of EPW driving experience (N=10). Intervention Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure(s) Seat angle peaks (stability), number of completed trials (effectiveness), Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST), and systemic usability scale (SUS). Results MEBot with dynamic suspensions demonstrated significantly better stability (all P<.001 than epw passive suspensions on non-ada-compliant surfaces by reducing seat angle changes also mebot with ehas suspension significantly completed more trials over potholes compared pa and had better scores in terms of ease adjustment durability usability all surfaces. physical assistance was required to navigate using suspensions. participants reported similar responses regarding use satisfaction toward conclusions dynamic improve safety stability when navigating commercial findings indicate readiness for further evaluation real-world environments.> |
