Impact of the TEAM Wheels eHealth manual wheelchair training program: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

<h4>Background</h4>Variable, and typically inadequate, delivery of skills training following manual wheelchair (MWC) provision has a detrimental impact on user mobility and participation. Traditional in-person delivery of training by rehabilitation therapists has diminished due to cost,...

Traditional in-person delivery of training by rehabilitation therapists has diminished due to cost, travel time, and most recently social distancing restrictions due to COVID-19.

An innovative TEAM Wheels program integrates app-based self-training and teleconference peer-led training using a computer tablet platform.<h4>Objective</h4>This protocol outlines implementation and evaluation of the TEAM Wheels training program in a randomized control trial using a wait-list control group.<h4>Setting</h4>The study will be implemented in a community setting in three Canadian cities.<h4>Participants</h4>Individuals ≥ 18 years of age within one year of transitioning to use of a MWC.<h4>Intervention</h4>Using a computer tablet, participants engage in three peer-led teleconference training sessions and 75-150 minutes of weekly practice using a video-based training application over 4 weeks. Peer trainers individualize the participants' training plans and monitor their tablet-based training activity online. Control group participants also receive the intervention following a 1-month wait-list period and data collection.<h4>Measurements</h4>Outcomes assessing participation; skill capacity and performance; self-efficacy; mobility; and quality of life will be measured at baseline and post-treatment, and at 6-month follow-up for the treatment group.<h4>Impact statement</h4>We anticipate that TEAM Wheels will be successfully carried out at all sites and participants will demonstrate statistically significant improvement in the outcome measures compared with the control group.Ed GiesbrechtJulie FaietaKrista BestFrançois RouthierWilliam C MillerMaude LabergePublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 10, p e0258509 (2021)
