Making a Wheel Difference: Inter-rater Reliability on Two Wheelchair Measures Between Rehabilitation Therapists & Students

Date Presented 04/20/2023 This study compared the interrater reliability of two wheelchair assessments between therapists and students on an international service trip with the aim of improving wheelchair provision for children who need a moderate level of postural support. Having reliable data will encourage the appropriate provision of wheelchairs by local providers as well as improve the longevity and appropriateness of products being manufactured and provided in low- to middle-income countries.
