Summary

This project will evaluate the Wheelchair School with the Drivkraft Methodology in a clinical setting. Participants are adults with chronic neurological diagnoses. For a person requiring a wheelchair, a well-functioning, individually adapted wheelchair and good maneuvering skills are essential for an independent daily life. These factors are also crucial in reducing the risk of secondary complications and pain. The Wheelchair School was founded in the 1990s, is provided by referral and both peer mentors and physiotherapists collaborate. It includes wheelchair prescription and adjustments, individually adapted wheelchair skills training, and theoretical lessons in group during 16 half-day sessions.

The overarching aim is to evaluate the intervention Wheelchair school with the Drivkraft method, for wheelchair skills and patient safety for persons with chronic neurological diagnoses in a Swedish context. Also to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Drivkraft Manouevering Test (DWMT) for wheelchair skills.
