    Anatomical Model Propulsion System (AMPS): Measuring Manual Wheelchair Efficiency
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Dao, Phuc ; Eicholtz, Matt ; Caspall, Jayme ; Sprigle, Stephen ; Ferri, Aldo A.
    The goal of this project was to produce a test device and methodology capable of measuring the mechanical efficiency of manual wheelchairs. The result would provide an objective measure of wheelchair performance that are required to effectively prescribe wheelchairs and to code wheelchairs properly for reimbursement.

    Analysis of Temperature and Relative Humidity Variation in Wheelchair Cushion Monitoring Tests
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Eicholtz, Matthew ; Sprigle, Stephen
    Clinicians need to prescribe wheelchair equipment that is tailored to the needs of the individual. Relative humidity affects friction and skin's ability to withstand loads. Increased tissue temperature increases metabolic demand and may affect tissue integrity. Need to develop ISO standards for cushion testing.

    Effect of a Web-Based Research Dissemination Project on Clinician Practice Patterns
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Cohen, Laura ; Sprigle, Stephen
    Keeping up with the rapid pace of change in the healthcare system and the development of technology has dictated that clinicians learn about ways to improve quality of care over the course of their careers. Yet there has been little study of the association between the process of rehabilitation education and quality care. This poster describes the effect of a web-based training (WBT) program on clinician knowledge of manual wheelchair technology, and attitudes towards practice for professionals recommending seating and wheeled mobility equipment. WBT resulted in positive changes in Knowledge over time. Attitude changes improved in the domains of Independence and Leadership. Overall, evidence suggests that WBT has utility as a knowledge transfer mechanism.

    Fundamental locomotive activity time efficiency with differently positioning drive-axis wheelchairs among elders.
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008) Wang, Yong 'Tai' ; Bernard, Randy ; Cope, Clint ; Chang, Li-Shan ; Limgroongreungrat, Weerawat ; Sprigle, Stephen
    Safe, efficient and effective wheelchair locomotive activities of daily living for the elders are important due to their ages and physical conditions. Although wheelchair propulsion in young populations and/or athletes has been extensively investigated, researches of wheelchair propulsion in the elderly population are limited. Moreover, wheelchair locomotive activities of daily living, such as moving turn, door negotiation and parallel parking including the time efficiency of propelling performed by the older adults have not been studied. Based on the feedback from focus groups and surveys on wheelchair users, caregivers, nurses and physical therapists from the larger study, the issues of propulsion and maneuverability were identified as the barriers to independent mobility for the elders. As a result, the front, mid and rear positioning drive‐axis wheelchairs were designed and tested in order to determine if propulsion and maneuverability were facilitated or hindered by any of these wheelchair designs.

    A Case Study Comparing Activity and Participation Measurement in Two Subjects
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007) Harris, Frances ; Sonenblum, Sharon Eve ; Sprigle, Stephen
    This case study compares the differences between complementary methodologies that measure activity and participation in two subjects who use wheeled mobility devices. Data collection consisted of 1) a self-report participation measure for people with mobility disabilities - the Community Participation and Perceived Receptivity Survey (CPPRS) - and 2) a passive instrumentation data-gathering methodology that includes a global positioning system (GPS) data logger, followed by a prompted recall interview (PRI) to confirm GPS data location and query activity purpose. Many of the destination types (e.g., grocery stores) named in the CPPRS were confirmed by GPS/PRI data. Issues affecting subject responses in both methods included ambiguous categories and researcher assumptions about the nature of activity. Differences between self-report and instrumentation data are discussed as they impact understanding activity and community participation among wheeled mobility users and the development of self-report participation instruments.
