29th Annual RESNA Conference Proceedings



Description: This bar graph reports the relative benefits of primary mobility device use differ in participating at community sites visited on a monthly basis. Power wheelchair users benefited in participation across all activities when compared to the other three PMD groups. For these sites visited at least monthly, the device groups differed in the benefits of using their PMD. Power wheelchair users report significantly more benefit to using their PMD in grocery stores and large stores when compared to the three other device groups. The group of cane/crutches/walker users showed the least benefit from the use of their device in participating in nearly every community activity. Large stores are sites where the differences in benefits of using their PMD show significant differences when all device groups are compared to the CCW group.



This should be in the right column.
