Prescribers’ Experiences With Powered Mobility Prescription Among Older Adults / Bennett W. MORTENSON in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 67/1 (janvier-février 2013)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 67/1 (janvier-février 2013) . - p. 100-107 Titre : Prescribers’ Experiences With Powered Mobility Prescription Among Older Adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bennett W. MORTENSON ; Krista BEST ; Laura HURD CLARKE Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p. 100-107 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Personne âgée  Fauteuil roulant  Profession santé Résumé : Despite the potential benefits of powered mobility, many older adults do not have access to this technology. To date, few studies have explored how prescribers make decisions regarding provision of powered mobility. Therefore, we undertook a qualitative study to develop a better understanding of prescribers’ attitudes toward and practices with older adult candidates for powered mobility devices. Our analysis of 10 in-depth interviews identified three main themes: (1) “Deciding who should be entitled” explored how therapists decided who should have access to powered mobility, (2) “power wheelchair negotiation” described the discord between clients and therapists that became apparent during this process, and (3) “practical considerations” revealed how contextual factors shaped the provision of powered mobility. The findings suggest that the ways in which powered mobility is funded, provided, and accommodated should be improved so that more older adults have access to these devices and can use them to their full potential.

Taking Control: An Exploratory Study of the Use of Tilt-in-Space Wheelchairs in Residential Care / Sneha Shankar in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 69/2 (Mars/Avril 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 69/2 (Mars/Avril 2015) . - p.290040 Titre : Taking Control: An Exploratory Study of the Use of Tilt-in-Space Wheelchairs in Residential Care Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sneha Shankar, Auteur ; Bennett W. MORTENSON, Auteur ; Justin Wallace, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.290040 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fauteuil roulant  Hébergement temporaire  AutonomieHuman activities  Patient positioning  Personal autonomy  Residential facilities  Self concept  Wheelchairs Résumé : Tilt-in-space (TIS) wheelchairs are common in residential care, but little empirical evidence exists regarding how they are used by residents and staff in these settings. As part of a larger study exploring the use of wheeled mobility in these facilities, we conducted a substudy to examine how TIS wheelchairs are used in practice and to explore the experiences of the residents who use them. We conducted a series of three participant observations and interviews with 6 residents or their family members and interviewed 10 staff. Our analysis identified taking control as the main overarching theme, subsuming two subthemes: promoting comfort and mobilizing to participate. Findings suggest that power TIS wheelchairs enable user control, whereas manual TIS wheelchairs promote staff control. These findings illustrate how TIS wheelchairs may enable or inhibit occupational engagement and suggest that vigilance is necessary to prevent their use as a restraint.
