| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of a web-based, direct-to-user transfer training program in improving transfer quality and maintaining improvements for up to one-month post-training as compared to a control group. DESIGN: Randomized control study with participants randomized to an immediate intervention (IIG) or waitlist control group (WLCG) that received the training after a 6-month delay. SETTING: Wherever the participants accessed the web-based training, likely the home environment. PARTICIPANTS: Convenience sample of full-time wheelchair users (IIG n=34, WLCG n=38 for between-group analysis, n=48 for combined within-group analysis) with spinal cord injury or disorder who were able to independently perform a lateral scoot transfer. INTERVENTIONS: Self-paced, web-based transfer training module. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Transfer Assessment Instrument Questionnaire (TAI-Q) score at baseline, 1- and 6-months post-baseline (WLCG only), immediately post-training, and 1-month post-training. The TAI-Q is an 18-item self-assessment that covers several aspects of a quality transfer. RESULTS: The IIG significantly increased their baseline TAI-Q score from 6.91±0.98 to 7.79±1.12 (p |
