Design Longitudinal mixed-methods research study. Setting Urban community in Canada. Participants People who use a wheelchair for home and community mobility (N=11). Intervention Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Use of a global positioning system (GPS) tracker for movement in community (number of trips per day), use of accelerometer for bouts of wheeling mobility (number of bouts per day, speed, distance, and duration), prompted recall interviews to identify supports and barriers to mobility and participation. Results More trips per day were taken during the summer (P= .03) and on days with no snow and temperatures above 0°C. Participants reliant on public transportation demonstrated more weather-specific changes in their trip patterns. The number of daily bouts of mobility remained similar across seasons; total daily distance wheeled, duration, and speed were higher on summer days, days with no snow, and days with temperatures above 0°C. A higher proportion of outdoor wheeling bouts occurred in summer (P=.02) and with temperatures above 0°C (P=.03). Inaccessible public environments were the primary barrier to community mobility and participation; access to social supports and private transportation were the primary supports. Conclusions Objective support is provided for the influence of various seasonal weather conditions on community mobility and participation for people who use a wheelchair. Longitudinal data collection provided a detailed understanding of the patterns of, and influences on, wheelchair mobility and participation within wheelchair users’ own homes and communities.

Barriers to Wheelchair Use in the Winter / Jacquie D. Ripat in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2015/6 (2015)  

[article]  inArchives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation > 2015/6 (2015) . - p. 1117–1122 Titre : Barriers to Wheelchair Use in the Winter Type de document : Article Auteurs : Jacquie D. Ripat ; Cara L. Brown ; Karen D. Ethans Article en page(s) : p. 1117–1122 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteurs : HE Vinci Neige ; Participation sociale ; Rééducation et réadaptation Mots-clés : Cold temperature  Basse température  Social participation  Snow  Wheelchairs  Fauteuils roulants Résumé : Objectives To test the hypothesis that challenges to community participation posed by winter weather are greater for individuals who use scooters, manual and power wheelchairs (wheeled mobility devices [WMDs]) than for the general ambulatory population, and to determine what WMD users identify as the most salient environmental barriers to community participation during the winter. Design Cross-sectional survey organized around 5 environmental domains: technological, natural, physical, social/attitudinal, and policy. Setting Urban community in Canada. Participants Convenience sample of WMD users or their proxy (N=99). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Not applicable. Results Forty-two percent identified reduced outing frequency in winter months, associated with increased age (χ3=6.4, P=.04), lack of access to family/friends for transportation (χ2=8.1, P=.04), and primary type of WMD used in the winter (scooter χ2=8.8, P=.003). Most reported tires/casters becoming stuck in the snow (95%) or slipping on the ice (91%), difficulty ascending inclines/ramps (92%), and cold hands while using controls or pushing rims (85%); fewer identified frozen wheelchair/scooter batteries, seat cushions/backrests, or electronics. Sidewalks/roads were reported to be problematic by 99%. Eighty percent reported needing additional help in the winter. Limited community access in winter led to a sense of loneliness/isolation, and fear/anxiety related to safety. Respondents identified policies that limited participation during winter. Conclusions People who use WMDs decrease their community participation in cold weather because of multiple environmental barriers. Clinicians, researchers, and policymakers can take a multidimensional approach to mitigate these barriers in order to enhance community participation by WMD users in winter.
