Observational Study on Changing the Quality of Life in Daily Life Activities After Clinical Approach Positioning the Wheelchair
France10 participantsStarted 2015-03
Plain-language summary
Stemming from the common practice of attribution of the technical helps in the posture in Canada, the multidisciplinary approach of positioning develops in France for more than 10 years old.
To date, no observatory study was led to estimate the impact of such consultation in daily activities, an essential objective conditioning the observance and the acceptance of assistive devices. This study wants to estimate the impact through modification of WHOM scale.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study used something called the WHOM scale to measure quality of life before and after a wheelchair positioning consultation — can you explain what the WHOM scale actually measures, and whether the results showed a meaningful difference in daily life activities for participants?
2Since this was an observational study rather than a treatment trial, there was no experimental intervention — does that mean the findings reflect what could realistically happen for me if I had a wheelchair positioning consultation done in a similar way?
3The study is now completed — has the data been published anywhere, and if so, can we look at the results together to understand whether the type of wheelchair positioning approach used here might be relevant to my specific mobility situation?
4This trial focused on wheelchair positioning consultations improving quality of life in daily activities — are there clinical guidelines or standard-of-care approaches already available that achieve the same goal, so I can understand whether something like this consultation is already accessible to me without a research study?
5Given that this study enrolled people with mobility limitations broadly, can you help me understand whether my particular condition and wheelchair needs are similar enough to the study population that its findings would be relevant to my care?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
