目的：虽然轮椅的推进距离是由一些设备测量，测量自我推进距离，不包括由护理人员的辅助推进距离，是困难的。这是一个试点研究，以验证是否轮椅使用者的推进距离，不包括辅助推进距离，可以使用一个周期的计算机通过连接触摸开关。我们将触摸开关和自行车计算机连接到轮椅上，以排除辅助推进距离。我们将循环计算机设置为在护理人员触摸传感器时停止记录。为了使用自行车计算机确认推进距离，志愿者在总距离为181 m的矩形设施上推进轮椅，检查者确认推进距离。 在50米的直线跑道上进行了确认试验，以确认连接到循环计算机上的触摸开关的准确性。志愿者和护理人员交替推动轮椅10米，并持续到50米。 结果：在181米的长方形设施中，志愿者用自行车计算机推动轮椅的推进距离为180米。 在50米的直线跑道上，推进距离为30米，护理人员的协助为20米。结论：本研究表明，我们的修改后的设备可以测量的自我推进距离，不包括辅助推进距离轮椅使用者。
Objective:Although the propulsion distance of a wheelchair is measured by some devices, measuring self-propulsion distance, excluding assistance propulsion distance by the caregiver, is difficult. This is a pilot study conducted to verify whether the propulsion distance of wheelchair users, excluding the assistance propulsion distance, can be measured using a cycle computer by attaching the touch switch.Methods:The wheelchair propulsion distance was measured using a cycle computer. We connected the touch switch and the cycle computer to the wheelchair to exclude assistance propulsion distance. We set the cycle computer to stop recording while the caregiver was touching the sensor. To confirm the propulsion distance using the cycle computer, the volunteer propelled the wheelchair on a rectangular facility with a total distance of 181 m, and the examiner confirmed the propulsion distance. The validation test to confirm the accuracy of the touch switch attached to the cycle computer was performed on a 50-m straight runway. The volunteer and caregiver propelled the wheelchair alternately by 10 m and continued until 50 m. The examiner confirmed the distance after 50-m propulsion.Results:In the 181-m rectangular facility, the propulsion distance that the volunteer propelled the wheelchair with the cycle computer was 180 m. In the 50-m straight runway, the propulsion distance was 30 m with caregiver assistance for 20 m.Conclusion:The present study showed that our modified device could measure the self-propulsion distance, excluding assistance propulsion distance in wheelchair users.
