Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It is hypothesized that, compared to a control group, manual wheelchair users and their caregivers in the long-term-care setting who receive the wheelchair skills training program will improve their wheelchair skills to a statistically significant extent and will retain these improvements for at least one month.
