First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a special wheelchair called NETTI that can switch between a dynamic mode (which moves with the user) and a static mode. Four people who have 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 in each mode to see which is more comfortable and stable.
