Purpose
To test the hypothesis that persons with stroke can safely and effectively learn to use power mobility devices. The primary objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that, with formal wheelchair skills training, people who have had a stroke and have been prescribed a power wheelchair will have a larger improvement in performance and safety scores on the wheelchair skills test than people who have not received wheelchair skills training.
