Wheeled mobility use outcomes: a systematic review protocol of measurement properties.

Introduction: Numerous tools have been developed to measure constructs related to wheelchair use. Currently, no toolkit comprehensively details assessments of wheeled mobility device use based on the quality of their measurement properties. The current review aims to systematically identify high-quality assessment tools that measure different aspects of wheeled mobility use.

Skills on wheels: initial pre-post findings from a pilot study of a pediatric wheelchair skills training program.

Skills on Wheels, a 5-week pediatric wheelchair skills training program implemented over 2 years, was developed to address confidence, social participation, and mobility for wheelchair-using children. This study tests the hypothesis that pediatric wheelchair skills training will increase wheelchair skill ability, confidence, and participation of wheelchair-using children. Individualized instruction was delivered by occupational ( = 50) and physical ( = 12) therapy practitioners and doctoral students.
