Reliability of home-based remote and self-assessment of transfers using the Transfer Assessment Instrument among wheelchair users with spinal cord injury.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Cross-sectional study.

Objective

To evaluate the reliability of home-based remote and self-assessment of transfer quality using the Transfer Assessment Instrument (TAI) among wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Setting

Participant's home environment.

Methods

Eighteen wheelchair users with SCI transferred from their wheelchair to a surface of their choice (bed, sofa, or bench) in their homes. During a live video conference, the transfer was recorded and evaluated live using the TAI (rater 1). Participants completed a self-assessment of their transfer using the TAI- questionnaire (TAI-Q). Two additional raters (raters 2 & 3) completed asynchronous assessments by watching recorded videos. Interrater reliability was assessed using Intraclas
