Summary

This study tests a new manual standing wheelchair designed for children with spina bifida. Thirty kids aged 8 to 17 will try the chair in lab and simulated home, school, and community settings. The goal is to see if it helps them move and stand better than their current wheelchairs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pediatric manual mobile standing wheelchair (PedMMSWC)
What this could lead to
If successful, this wheelchair could help children with spina bifida stand and move more easily, improving their independence and daily activities.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants. The wheelchair may not work better than current options, and some children may find it difficult to use.
