Abstract

This study aimed to examine the types of available evidence and knowledge gaps on wheelchair skills training among PWDs in literature. This study employed a scoping review method and was guided by Arksey and O'Malley's using five steps framework. A total of 15 peer-reviewed articles met the inclusion criteria. The results support the effectiveness of wheelchair skills training through personal feedbacks from participants, observation and the use of standardized outcome measures, including self-perceived assessment. This study highlights the importance and benefit of wheelchair skills training to wheelchair users, caregivers and health personnel.
