Abstract | Purpose: Children who use a manual wheelchair (WC) or a power WC may not receive adequate WC skills training. Clinicians report knowledge as a barrier to the provision of paediatric WC skills training. The purpose of this study was to explore the breadth and depth of specific factors clinicians consider when providing WC skills training for children. Methods: Data in this modified Think Aloud study were gathered Results: Twenty-eight English-speaking clinicians participated in the study. A total of 1246 distinct factors were mapped to 352 unique ICF codes spanning all four ICF Domains. The largest number of identified factors mapped to codes within the Activities and participation Domain (42.25%). Conclusion: Participants reported considering multiple factors across the ICF in the provision of WC skills training for children. Providing paediatric WC skills training is a complex activity requiring clinicians to consider a wide range of factors that go beyond a child's motor abilities.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONProviding paediatric wheelchair (WC) skills training is a complex activity requiring clinicians to consider a wide range of factors that go beyond a child's motor abilities.Clinicians should consider the child's Mental Functions, Activities and Participation, and Environmental Factors when providing wheelchair skills training for children.A lack of wheelchair-specific International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health codes was noted. Revising these codes to better capture the diverse range of the benefits and challenges involved in learning to use and using a wheelchair would be beneficial. |
