Test of different-speed ergonomic wheelchairs for daily users
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a wheelchair design that can better match how you move and sit while using a manual wheelchair every day. You may be able to try different wheelchair setups if you meet the safety, seating, and body-size requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You use a manual (self-propelled) wheelchair every day
- You are an adult (age 18 or older)
- You weigh under 125 kg (about 275 lb)
- You can understand the study and give consent, and follow study steps
- Your body size can fit the available seat sizes (16-inch or 18-inch)
- You do not have recent pressure sores or pressure-injury surgery, and you can use the study wheelchair seating safely
