Effectiveness of a Web-Based Direct-to-User Transfer Training Program: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

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 1 month after training as compared with a control group.

Design

Randomized controlled trial with participants randomized to an immediate intervention group (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 (N=72; 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.
