A Motor Learning Approach to Wheelchair Propulsion Training for Manual Wheelchair Users With SCI
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Roller system group (RG), Overground group (OG), and 1 other intervention for Spinal Cord Injuries. Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall purpose of this project is to pilot test a manual wheelchair (MWC) training program based on motor learning theory to improve wheelchair propulsion for manual wheelchair users (MWUs) with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Interventions
They will first receive the standard of care that is often used in rehabilitation: a 30 minute educational session about recommended propulsion techniques with no motor learning principles implemented. In addition, they will execute 750-1250 wheelchair propulsion repetitions on the roller system per each 1 hour session (2-3 x per week for 4-6 weeks) until they reach approximately 10,000 repetitions (10 sessions). Each session will focus on minimizing the force and frequency of pushes while using longer push strokes during propulsion.

In addition, they will execute 750-1250 wheelchair propulsion repetitions overground per each 1 hour session (2-3 x per week for 4-6 weeks) until they reach approximately 10,000 repetitions (10 sessions).
