Trial Outcomes & Findings for Use of "Smart Wheelchairs" to Provide Independent Mobility to Visual and Mobility Impairments (NCT NCT00333762)

Results Overview

Time to complete the course was recorded. The indoor course was set up in the research laboratory to include a straight path and 90 degree turns that included obstacles such as a cardboard box, a large orange cone, and a desk chair. The location of these obstacles were randomly placed in order to test whether or not the SPAM or SWCS was able to detect objects.
