Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study evaluates the usability of the Safer Seat, a device designed to help people with impaired mobility, strength, or balance transfer onto and off of a vehicle seat. Participants will try the device and provide feedback on its ease of use and usefulness. The goal is to see if the Safer Seat can improve the transfer experience for its intended users.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Safer Seat, a vehicle seat transfer device
What this could lead to
If the Safer Seat proves easy to use and acceptable, it could offer a practical aid to help people with mobility impairments transfer into and out of vehicle seats more independently.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early usability study with only 8 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device may not suit all types of mobility limitations, and its safety and effectiveness are not yet established.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
