New standing wheelchair for kids and teens
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new kind of manual wheelchair for kids and teens that lets you stand up while moving around. It’s for people who already use a manual wheelchair and are part of a standing program.
