Brief Summary

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

The device that is the subject of this investigation is a robotic assistance module for driving a semi-autonomous electric wheelchair. This module is designed to accessorize the electric wheelchair to improve the safety conditions when driving an electric wheelchair, thus reducing the wheelchair accident rate on the one hand and facilitating access to the wheelchair to persons who can not claim it without the use of a safety device of this type.

This study "SWADAPT2" follows "SWADAPT1" with patients with Neurological Disorders, Regular Drivers of Electric Wheelchairs, in the same conditions :

Each patient included will test a wheelchair equipped with a collision avoidance assistance module in 2 conditions, assistance activated or not. This evaluation will be carried out in 3 standardized test circuits of increasing difficulty, one week apart. At each session, the patient will perform the circuit 6 times, including 3 with activated assistance, in a random order established upstream.

Participants Outcome Assessors
To minimize bias, this study will be randomized and conducted in single blind. The patient will not be aware of the activation or not of the assistance module placed on the electric wheelchair. Indeed, the investigative team will be in charge of the activation of the robotic module.

Study Groups

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

Electric wheelchair with activated assistance module

This condition will be achieved in 3 standardized test circuits of increasing difficulty, one week apart. At each session, the patient will perform the circuit 6 times, including 3 with activated assistance, in a random order established upstream.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Electric wheelchair with activated assistance module

Intervention Type DEVICE

This evaluation will be carried out in 3 standardized test circuits of increasing difficulty, one week apart. At each session, the patient will perform the circuit 6 times, including 3 with activated assistance

Electric wheelchair with assistance module not activated

This condition will be achieved in 3 standardized test circuits of increasing difficulty, one week apart. At each session, the patient will perform the circuit 6 times, including 3 without activated assistance, in a random order established upstream.

Group Type OTHER
