Abstract

BACKGROUND: Powered wheelchairs promote participation for people with mobility limitations. For older adults with cognitive impairment, existing training methods may not address learning needs, leading to difficulty with powered wheelchair skills. Error-minimized training, facilitated by shared control technology, may provide learning opportunities more suited to this population.
