To assess the effectiveness of group wheelchair maintenance training and investigate participant characteristics associated with responsiveness to training. Randomized control trial with an immediate group and waitlist control group (WLCG) who received the intervention after a 6-month delay. Four Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems Centers. Manual (MWC) and power wheelchair (PWC) users with spinal cord injury (n=80 and 67, respectively). Two 90-minute structured wheelchair maintenance training program classes with 12-20 people per class and separate classes for MWC and PWC users. Each class included in-person hands-on demonstrations and practice of wheelchair maintenance. Separate analysis was completed for MWC and PWC users using the Wheelchair Maintenance Training Questionnaire (WMT-Q) capacity (ability to complete), performance (frequency of completion) and knowledge at baseline, 1-month, 6-month, 6-month-pre-training (WLCG only), and 1-year (immediate only). Following the intervention, participants in both the immediate and WLCG improved in maintenance capacity (MWC and PWC, p<0.001) and performance (MWC and PWC, p<0.001) with training. Only PWC users improved knowledge of wheelchair maintenance (p<0.001). For both WLCGs (MWC and PWC) there was no difference between the 6-month-pre-training time-point and baseline. MWC users who responded to training had lower WMT-Q scores for all domains while for PWC users this was only the case for knowledge. Group wheelchair skills training is effective at improving capacity to complete maintenance and performance of maintenance activities for MWC and PWC users, even in a cohort of experienced wheelchair users. For MWC users improvements were tied to lower WMT-Q scores at baseline, while PWC users improved in capacity and performance independent of baseline score. Delivering this training in a structured group format is lower cost and therefore might improve adoption into clinical practice.
