Sponsored by Bethany Relief and Rehabilitation International Inc. · Observational
Two wheelchair types available for children in Kenya are assessed for energy costs, utility, and complications. This study will arrive at a protocol for assessing wheelchairs in low-income settings, and in the process, provide wheelchair makers and providers with specific feedback. It also serves as a means to increase the skills of local health professionals working with the children in this study, while providing them with appropriate wheelchairs to use.
In each of 2011, 2012, and 2013, two different low cost wheelchairs were assessed. User feedback, health professional feedback, and objective measures were employed for these assessments in the real world setting. Participants for each phase were recruited from a Kenyan Primary or Secondary Schools for children with disability.
304 studies on the registry are indexed under Shoulder Impingement Syndrome; 55 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 100 is above the median of 60 across 39 observational studies indexed under Shoulder Impingement Syndrome.
