“…With a vast array of different ergometers found in the literature, it is evident that there is little standardization among research centres. While having options allows researchers to choose the most pertinent device for their specific research questions, the comparability of results and applicability of existing knowledge remains somewhat limited without the standardization of measurement equipment [126]. This exemplifies the need for consensus among institutions on what lab-based research should look like.…”

“…Studies of specific biomechanical considerations such as size of the handrim needed for regular mobility versus sport activity (Gayle et al, 1990), push angle effects on long distance racing (Okawa et al, 1994) and optimal wheelchair height to maximize propulsion in sport and general use (Masse et al, 1992;Walsh et al, 1986) all speak to the need of maximizing the wheelchair -person -occupational fit.

“…Shoulder pain was found to be a common problem associated with long term wheelchair use (Curtis & Black, 1999;Pentland & Twomey, 1991). Seat height, seat position, handrim size, and push angle were found to contribute to propulsion quality (Gayle, Davis, Pohlman & Glaser, 1990;Masse, Lamontagne & O'Riain, 1992;Okawa et al, 1999). Ten studies focused on personal adjustment, lifestyle, and quality of life factors.…”

“…Several of the articles reviewed suggest that prescription of wheelchairs needs to take into account the occupations of the person. Studies of specific biomechanical considerations such as size of the handrim needed for regular mobility versus sport activity (Gayle et al, 1990), push angle effects on long distance racing (Okawa et al, 1994) and optimal wheelchair height to maximize propulsion in sport and general use (Masse et al, 1992;Walsh et al, 1986) all speak to the need of maximizing the wheelchair -person -occupational fit. Demands on the person using a wheelchair from a physiological perspective during occupation have also been addressed.…”

The prescription of wheeled seated mobility devices for clients with mobility impairment is a growing area in occupational therapy practice. The goal is to enhance client participation in occupation through technical intervention. This critical review examines the body of knowledge concerning the impact and effectiveness of the provision of wheeled seated mobility on the occupational performance of wheelchair users and their caregivers. The scope and gaps in the literature are defined to identify areas for future research. While the focus is on the methodological issues of the research reports, the relevance of findings to occupational therapy practice will also be reviewed. The results of the 46 studies in this review indicate that the majority of research conducted thus far have methodological limitations, which limits the extent to which this body of research can be drawn upon to provide evidence for the effectiveness of wheeled mobility systems. While most of the studies reviewed addressed constructs of relevance to occupational therapy practice, there was an emphasis on performance components and inadequate attention to engagement in occupations. This review is an important first step in building the ability of occupational therapists to demonstrate effectiveness in wheeled seating interventions.

PostprintThis is the accepted version of a paper published in Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology. This paper has been peer-reviewed but does not include the final publisher proof-corrections or journal pagination.Citation for the original published paper (version of record):Stenberg, G., Henje, C., Levi, R., Lindström, M. (2016) Living with an electric wheelchair: the user perspective. Disability and AbstractPurpose: To explore the experiences of using an electric wheelchair in daily living.Methods: Fifteen participants, eight women and seven men, living in different parts of a Nordic country were interviewed. The interviews were conducted in the home or workplace.Open-ended questions were used. The data were collected and analysed according to grounded theory.Results: Analysis resulted in one core category: "Integrating the electric wheelchair-a manifold process", describing a process commencing from initial resistance against use of an electric wheelchair, to acceptance with various extent of integration. Six categories emerged that represent this core process: incorporating the electric wheelchair into the self-identity process, calculating functional consequences, encountering the reactions of others, facing duality in movability, using proactive strategies, and being at the mercy of the system.Findings indicate that the integration process is complex and manifold. Practical, personal, and social dimensions were intertwined and significantly involved.Conclusions: Integrating an electric wheelchair is a process closely connected to symbolic value, usability, community mobility, and identity. These aspects should be considered in the production, prescription, and adaptation processes.
