Brief Summary:
The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of remote manual wheelchair skills training program First peer coaches will be enrolled and trained Then trainees will be enrolled into one of three interventions intervention with remote feedback Group 1 wait list control group Group 2 and structured self-study Group 3
Detailed Description:
For peer coaches
Coaches will complete the following measures pre and post training
Demographic questionnaire
Self-Efficacy on Assessing Training and Spotting SEATS
Feedback survey
Prior to coaching trainees coaches will undergo three training programs as follows
Virtual training through zoom on peer mentoring
Research ethics training
Wheelchair skills training
It will be verified that peer coaches possess the needed skills by administering the SEATS following training A score of 5 completely confident for each training item will be required to advance to the peer coaching sessions
For peer coaching coaches will lead six 11 virtual zoom meetings with each trainee they are matched with Sessions may include goal setting review of progress instruction and homework of prescribed content for trainees to review For each training session coaches will complete a session log
For trainees
Baseline questionnaires will include
Demographic questionnaire
Wheelchair setup questionnaire
Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire WST-Q
Goal Attainment Scale GAS Group 13 only
Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique Short Form CHART-SF Mobility
Wheelchair Outcome Measure WhOM Satisfaction with Participation in Meaningful Activities
Life Space Assessment LSA
Online Learning Readiness Scale OLRS
Moorong Self-Efficacy Scale MSES

Group Specific Activities
Groups 1 and 2 will complete intervention A following baseline and 6-month assessments respectively Group 3 will complete intervention B Participants in all groups will select what goals are important to them They are not required to complete training in all skills only to have at least 5 skills with relevant training goals
Intervention A Trainees will engage in 11 virtual zoom meetings facilitated by the study team scheduled weekly for 6 sessions with the opportunity for 2 makeup sessions Sessions may include goal setting review of progress instruction and homework of prescribed content for trainees to review Participants may upload videos of themselves completing skills through Qualtrics to get feedback

Intervention B Intervention B will be a series of educational videos that participants review and then are encouraged to practice the skills Participants will have access to the materials for 8 weeks Group 3 will have access to approximately 3 hours of wheelchair skills video training content Actual viewing time will depend upon the individuals training goal While they will receive a weekly reminder about practicing there is no prescribed frequency for how often they should be practicing the skills in the videos
