Abstract
ABSTRACT The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Wheelchair Transportation Safety held a state-of-the-science workshop on wheelchair transportation. The workshop had three purposes: reviewing and documenting the status of wheelchair transportation safety, identifying deficiencies, and formulating, discussing, and prioritizing recommendations for future action. The final goal was to disseminate the workshop outcomes for utilization in formatting future research priorities. A nominal group technique was used to facilitate focused open discussion by knowledgeable persons, resulting in the identification and ranking of existing deficiencies according to priority. Participants then formulated potential short-term solutions and speculated what wheelchair transportation safety should be in the future. This document presents four white papers, prepared prior to the workshop and modified according to participant feedback, and summarizes the outcomes of the workshop. The results identify and prioritize recommendations for future action.
