Therefore, this study was conducted to observe the function of wheelchair users in the modified wheelchair and their satisfaction with both the modified wheelchair and intermediate wheelchair service. A descriptive study was conducted, and 14 participants were recruited through consecutive sampling. Post-intervention data were collected from these wheelchair users using the Functioning Every Day with a Wheelchair (FEW) and the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST) questionnaires. The data were analyzed through frequency tables and a two-sample t-test. The scores indicated that wheelchair users functioned well in the modified wheelchairs. The range of FEW was 4.8 to 5.6, respectively, with a mean of 5.15 ± 0.227, out of a maximum possible score of 6. The QUEST device sub-score was 4.514 ± 0.2381 and the service sub-score was 4.550 out of a maximum possible score of 5 (SD = 0.3716) indicating that the users were highly satisfied with both the modified wheelchairs and intermediate service provided. Wheelchair users functioned well in the modified wheelchair and expressed a high level of satisfaction with both the modified wheelchair and intermediate wheelchair service provided. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
