Training clients in the use of power mobility devices is important,not only to enhance safety and driving performance,but also to increase satisfaction with the devices and conversely decrease abandonment.However,the multitude of factors involved with power wheelchair driving has made it difficult to develop standardized protocols that could be applied universally.This has warranted more research about the cognitive,sensory and motor capabilities essential for power mobility driving.This session will be a focus group designed to collect information from suppliers and physical and occupational therapists,which will be used to develop a robust power wheelchair driving assessment and training protocol.
