Zusammenfassung:Rentschler AJ, Cooper RA, Fitzgerald SG, Boninger ML, Guo S, Ammer WA, Vitek M, Algood D. Evaluation of selected electric-powered wheelchairs using the ANSI/RESNA standards. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2004;85:611–9. To compare the performance characteristics of different electric-powered wheelchairs (EPWs) and to evaluate the effectiveness of the American National Standards Institute/Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (ANSI/RESNA) wheelchair standards. Five types of EPWs were selected. Three wheelchairs of each type were tested according to the ANSI/RESNA wheelchair standards. Rehabilitation engineering center. Fifteen wheelchairs. Not applicable. Static tipping angle; dynamic tipping score; braking distance; energy consumption; static, impact, and fatigue strength; and climatic conditioning. There were significant differences ( P
