Study Summary

This trial will study how well a remote wheelchair maintenance training program works, and how to make it more successful.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals who use a wheelchair more than 40 hours per week due to a traumatic spinal cord injury. Participants must live in the United States and speak English as their primary language.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is evaluating the effectiveness of an online program designed to teach wheelchair users how to maintain their wheelchairs. It aims to find ways that may improve the success rate of remote training programs.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational training, there are no direct medical side effects associated with it. However, participants may experience fatigue or discomfort from engaging with the program.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Randomized TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Individuals may decide to participate in the research study and agree to be randomized. These individuals will be immediately randomized into an immediate or a wait list control group. The immediate will receive the wheelchair maintenance training program after completing the baseline questionnaires. The wait list control group will wait approximately 6 months before receiving the independent maintenance training program.

Group II: Immediate Training (with follow up)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Individuals may decide to participate in the research study, but do not want to be randomized. After consent is obtained, these individuals will be directed immediately to the baseline questionnaires (see above) before and after the wheelchair maintenance training. Participants may also be asked to complete a user satisfaction survey.

Group III: Immediate Training (no follow up)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Individuals may decide to participate in the research study training program, but not in any follow up questionnaires. This group will have immediate access to the independent maintenance training materials. They will complete data collection measures embedded in the maintenance training program, including demographics, Online Learning Readiness Scale (OLRS), Moorong Self Efficacy Scale (MSES), Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS), Assistive Technology Module Questionnaire (ATM-Q), and the Wheelchair Maintenance Training Questionnaire (WMT-Q).
