The limitations of C-RADs have provided an incentive for the design of rear anti-tip devices that permit more rear tip without compromising safety (Arc-RADs).\n\nThe purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that caregivers handling occupied wheelchairs equipped with Arc-RADs have higher success rates on RAD-relevant skills than caregivers handling wheelchairs equipped with C-RADs.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* 18 years of age or older\n* alert, able and willing to follow instructions\n* wheelchair users: patients at the Nova Scotia Rehabilitation Centre\n* wheelchair users:permission of physician to participate in the study\n* caregiver:must provide at least part-time wheelchair-handling care for the wheelchair user in this study, a minimum of one hour per week on average\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* wheelchair users:suffer from any unstable medical, emotional, or physiological conditions that may interfere with participation\n* caregivers:medical condition of their upper limbs, heart or lungs that might cause them discomfort or endanger them when pushing or pulling an occupied wheelchair'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00377533', 'briefTitle': 'Wheelchair Handling Skills of Caregivers: Comparison Between Anti-tip Devices and a New Design', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Nova Scotia Health Authority'}, 'officialTitle': 'Wheelchair Handling Skills of Caregivers: Comparison Between Conventional Rear Anti-tip Devices and a New Design', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CDHA013'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'interventions': [{'name': 'wheelchair rear anti-tip device', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'description': 'assistive device'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'B3H 4K4', 'city': 'Halifax', 'state': 'Nova Scotia', 'country': 'Canada', 'facility': 'QEII Health Science Centre', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 44.64269, 'lon': -63.57688}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Lee Kirby, MD, FRCPC', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Dalhousie University, QEII Health Sciences Centre'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Nova Scotia Health Authority', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)', 'class': 'OTHER_GOV'}]}}}
