Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation research
  • Assistive technology safety
  • Occupational therapy interventions

Background:

  • Mobility scooters enhance community participation but pose accident risks.
  • Validated scooter training programs are scarce.
  • The Systematic, Comprehensive, One-to-One Training (SCOOT) program was developed to address this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the SCOOT program for mobility scooter users.
  • To assess the impact of structured training on scooter skills and user confidence.
  • To gather qualitative insights into user experiences with the SCOOT program.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods, rater-blinded, randomized control trial with a two-step wedge design.
  • Forty participants stratified by prior driving experience, assigned to immediate or delayed intervention groups.
  • Six weeks of one-to-one scooter training by an occupational therapist, with subjective and objective skill assessments.

Main Results:

  • Primary outcome: Subjective scooter skills assessed via the Wheelchair Skills Test for scooters.
  • Secondary outcomes: Objective skills, confidence, mobility, and participation satisfaction.
  • Exploratory outcomes: Cognitive, functional, sensory, environmental, and attentional measures; qualitative interviews.

Conclusions:

  • Study findings will inform a larger randomized control trial.
  • Effective SCOOT intervention could significantly impact policy and practice for mobility scooter users.
  • The program aims to improve safety and community integration for individuals with mobility impairments.
