Summary

This study tested two improvements for moving cancer patients in wheelchairs inside the hospital: a system to attach IV poles directly to the wheelchair and a more comfortable seat. Researchers measured how these changes affected travel time and patient comfort. 154 adult patients at Gustave Roussy took part, and the goal was to reduce pain and make transport smoother.
