The Natural History and Measurement of Power Mobility Outcomes among New and Experienced Older Adult Power Wheelchair Users: A One-Year Longitudinal Study
The objective of this study was to present the characteristics of and compare new and experienced power wheelchair users over a 1 year period. Sixty-seven older adult power wheelchair users completed outcome measures assessing participation, life space travelled, wheelchair skills, wheelchair confidence, social support, anxiety and depression. Preliminary results of this study indicate that while new power wheelchair users experience trends towards change in many of these areas over time, experienced power wheelchair users do not. Improved wheelchair skills, decreased anxiety, and increased depression were the areas in which trends towards change were observed for new power wheelchair users.
