ItemMobility Metrics for Manual Wheelchair Use in Everyday Life(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-06) Lopez, Ricardo A. ; Sonenblum, Sharon Eve ; Sprigle, StephenIn this study, a method for the robust detection of manual wheelchair movement with accelerometer-based data logging is used to obtain metrics of wheelchair mobility that complement mean- and total-distance-only based measurements. It is found that these metrics, that include distance, time and number of activity bouts, provide better understanding of everyday use of manual wheelchairs by shedding more light into how users operate their wheelchairs in their daily lives.

ItemAnatomical Model Propulsion System: Measuring Manual Wheelchair Efficiency(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010) Dao, Phuc ; Sprigle, Stephen ; Caspall, Jayme ; Ferri, Aldo A. ; Eicholtz, Matthew ; Wang, StanThe 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.

ItemiMachine: Measuring Manual Wheelchair Mass Properties(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010) Eicholtz, Matthew ; Sprigle, Stephen ; Ferri, Al ; Caspall, Jayme ; Dao, Phuc ; Wang, StanMass properties are important parameters in dynamic systems analysis, but may be difficult to estimate for irregularly-shaped objects. Specifically, the iMachine is designed to analyze manual wheelchairs in an effort to determine the propulsion efficiency using the Anatomical Model Propulsion System (AMPS).

ItemAnalysis of Temperature and Relative Humidity Variation in Wheelchair Cushion Monitoring Tests(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Eicholtz, Matthew ; Sprigle, StephenClinicians 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.

ItemEffect of a Web-Based Research Dissemination Project on Clinician Practice Patterns(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Cohen, Laura ; Sprigle, StephenKeeping 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.
