New wheelchair anti-tip device study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new safety device for manual wheelchairs. Researchers want to hear from wheelchair users, caregivers, and wheelchair providers about their experience with the device to see if it works well for everyday use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be willing to commit to a scheduled study activity
- Be a wheelchair user (used a manual wheelchair for at least one month), a caregiver (spend at least 2 hours per week with a manual wheelchair user), or a wheelchair provider (occupational therapist or assistant involved in wheelchair selection)

This study aims to see if a new survey, the PReFS, is accurate and reliable for people who use wheelchairs because of a neurologic condition. If you qualify, you may help improve how doctors measure your health.
This study looks at how well upper-limb assistive devices (like robotic arms) work for people who use them and for their caregivers. You and your caregiver can help by sharing your experiences in video interviews.
This study tests a new computer system designed to measure and help improve arm and hand function in people with stroke, Parkinson's disease, ALS, or memory problems. The system adjusts itself to each person's abilities and may help guide rehabilitation exercises.
This study looks at how people with a leg amputation get around both walking and using a wheelchair or scooter. It aims to understand community mobility to help improve care and devices.
This study tests whether virtual one-on-one training with a peer who has a spinal cord injury can help you learn new wheelchair skills. You'll practice using video calls, and you need a helper nearby to keep you safe during practice.
This study tests spinal stimulation and mobility-related devices to see if they can improve how well you move. You would visit a lab, do simple movement tasks, and share feedback about comfort and what you experience.
