Study Summary
Over 240,000 Veterans with disabilities use mobility devices such as manual and power wheelchairs and scooters, and this number continues to grow. Mobility devices have been described as the most enabling technology a clinician can provide to a person with a disability. Yet, the batteries used to power scooters and wheelchairs have many drawbacks. Batteries are hazardous to humans and the environment, heavy (which limits transportability), and incompatible with wet or highly humid environments. Repairs to electrical systems and replacement of batteries are frequently needed. These are costly and adversely affect the Veteran. Compressed air is a power source that overcomes many of these disadvantages. The investigators have developed a scooter and a wheelchair that are powered solely by compressed air. The purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate the impact of these new devices on Veterans living in long-term care facilities, and to obtain feedback from nurses, therapists, and engineers regarding their design and feasibility of use in long-term care.
Interventions
