WheelSeeU Feasibility Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Self-efficacy predicts behavioural and rehabilitation outcomes and may be an important psychological factor for wheelchair mobility. A feasibility study will evaluate a novel self-efficacy enhanced wheelchair training intervention for older adults (WheelSeeU) to determine if: 1.WheelSeeU is feasible to administer; 2. WheelSeeU improves wheelchair use, confidence for wheelchair use, wheelchair mobility, and satisfaction with participation in older adults compared to group-based information sessions; and 3. the study design is appropriate. This feasibility study will allow for study design and protocol refinement and will provide pilot data for an experimental trial.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will use a two-site (Vancouver and Quebec City), single blinded (Tester) RCT to compare differences in older adults' wheelchair skill with WheelSeeU versus group-based information sessions. Subjects will be randomly assigned to the experimental group (WheelSeeU) or a control group (information sessions) using a 1:1 allocation ratio between groups. To support balance between groups and blinding of assignment, a central computerized randomization process will be designed by our team statistician, with an undisclosed block size and stratified by site (Vancouver n = 20 [+4 for 20% dropout]; Quebec City n = 20 +4 ). Once subjects are enrolled, the Tester will collect baseline data and enter them into a secure database. The Site Coordinator will contact Dr. Goldsmith via telephone or email and obtain group assignment within 48 hours. Subject contact information will be forwarded to the appropriate group Trainer to arrange for an initial training session or peer support session. To address bias, subjects will be instructed not to discuss their program and the Testers (1 per site) will be blinded to group allocation. Follow-up testing will occur at immediately and 6 months post-intervention.

To mask the participants from the study objectives, participants in both the intervention and control groups will be told that the intervention is designed to improve wheelchair use. The findings from the study will be summarized and mailed to each participant upon study completion.

WheelSeeU and the control group will be held at Blusson Spinal Cord Centre, GF Strong or in the community depending on participant preference. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
