Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Wheelchair Skills Trainers

Individuals will receive remotely delivered wheelchair skills training, after which they will be assessed on their ability to teach the Wheelchair Skills Trainees a series of wheelchair skills in a one-on-one environment. The intervention for this group is Wheelchair Skills Training - Remote.

Group Type OTHER

Wheelchair Skills Training - Remote

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Individuals will receive wheelchair skills training remotely. They will be provided with the Wheelchair Skills Training Program to review (http://www.wheelchairskillsprogram.ca/eng/index.php), and then will be directed to use this information to perform the wheelchair skills. They will video the attempts, and will receive feedback on methods to improve their techniques.

Wheelchair Skills Trainees

Individuals will receive one-on-one wheelchair skills training from the Wheelchair Skills Trainers. The intervention for this group is Wheelchair Skills Training - In Person.

Group Type OTHER

Wheelchair Skills Training - In Person

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Individuals will receive wheelchair skills training in one-on-one sessions, taught by those who received the wheelchair skills training remotely.
