“…The research design incorporates two research strategies combining elements of multiple baseline case studies with quasi-experimental methods where each participant acts as their own control, as recommended for research in this population (Damiano, 2014). The single-subject designs allow examining personal changes, as recommended in interventions studies of wheeled mobility (Kenyon et al, 2020). The quasi-experimental without a control group allows analysis of the group, while reducing the confounding factor of individual variability, as severe CP is a complex diagnosis, making it difficult to achieve two homogeneous groups (Bottos et al, 2001;Damiano, 2014).…”

Background. Children and youth with severe cerebral palsy (CP) have limited independent mobility, which affects opportunities for overall development. Purpose. To examine the effectiveness of Power Fun, a therapeutic powered mobility summer camp. Methods. A quasi-experimental, repeated-measure design was used, with participants acting as their own control. Twenty-four participants with severe CP (aged 7–20 years) attended Power Fun for three weeks, five days/week. Assessments of powered mobility skills and functional mobility goals were conducted three weeks before the camp (T1), at baseline (T2), postintervention (T3), and at three-week follow-up (T4). Findings. An analysis of variance results indicated significant improvements in powered mobility skills ( F(1,22) = 56.61, p < 0.001, η2p = 0.74) and functional mobility goals ( F(1,58) = 80.17, p < 0.001, η2p = 0.74), with 70% of goals achieved postintervention. A descriptive analysis revealed three learning profiles. Implications. This study provides initial evidence supporting the effectiveness of Power Fun as an intervention promoting powered mobility for children with severe CP, across a range of abilities.

“…WHO guidelines, professional organizations guidelines), and the evidence that exists commonly involves small sample sizes, inconsistent definitions, and different outcome measurements [16,31]. Most research has been exploratory, including single subject designs in high-income settings, which provide weak evidence [31][32][33]. Efforts targeted at LMICs to measure wheelchair provision outcomes longitudinally have used different measurements, and a significant group of people were lost to follow-up, making it impossible to aggregate the data [34][35][36][37].…”

Assistive products outcomes are needed globally to inform policy, practice, and drive investment. The International Society of Wheelchair Professionals developed a Minimum Uniform Dataset (MUD) for wheelchair services worldwide with the intent to gather data that is comparable globally. The MUD was developed with the participation of members from around the globe and its feasibility piloted at 3 sites. Three versions of the MUD are now availablea short form with 29 data points (available in English, Spanish, and French) and a standard version with 38 data points in English. Future work is to validate and complete the translation cycles followed by promoting the use of the MUD globally so that the data can be leveraged to inform policy, practice and direct investments.
