Summary

This study tested a special wheelchair (NETTI) that can switch between a dynamic mode (moving with the person) and a static mode (locked in place). Four people with frequent involuntary muscle spasms that cause them to slide forward in their chair took part. Researchers measured how much they slipped and the force on their back to see which mode keeps them more comfortable and secure.
