Innovative Power Wheelchair Control Interface / Sandra L. WINKLER in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 70/2 (mars-avril 2016)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 70/2 (mars-avril 2016) Titre : Innovative Power Wheelchair Control Interface : A Proof-of-Concept Study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sandra L. WINKLER ; Sergio ROMERO ; Emily PRATHER ; et al. Année de publication : 2016 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ergothérapie  Fauteuil roulant  Innovation technologique Résumé : Some people without independent mobility are candidates for powered mobility but are unable to use a traditional power wheelchair joystick. This proof-of-concept study tested and further developed an innovative method of driving power wheelchairs for people whose impairments prevent them from operating commercial wheelchair controls. Our concept, Self-referenced Personal Orthotic Omni-purpose Control Interface (SPOOCI), is distinguished by referencing the control sensor not to the wheelchair frame but instead to the adjacent proximal lower-extremity segment via a custom-formed orthosis. Using a descriptive case-series design, we compared the pre–post functional power wheelchair driving skill data of 4 participants, measured by the Power Mobility Program, using descriptive analyses. The intervention consisted of standard-care power wheelchair training during 12 outpatient occupational or physical therapy sessions. All 4 participants who completed the 12-wk intervention improved their functional power wheelchair driving skills using SPOOCI, but only 3 were deemed safe to continue with power wheelchair driving.
