    This pilot study introduces a computer-aided simulation to improve electric wheelchair adaptation. The simulation aids in evaluating wheelchair suitability for patients, though further research is needed.

    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Assistive Technology

    Background:

    • Adapting electric wheelchairs for individual patient needs remains a challenge.
    • Current adaptation procedures require refinement for optimal patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of computer-aided simulation in improving electric wheelchair adaptation procedures.
    • To assess the utility of a novel simulation in evaluating wheelchair performance and patient learning.

    Main Methods:

    • A computer-aided simulation was developed, displaying a bird's-eye view of wheelchair movement.
    • The simulation-based procedure was tested on 16 subjects, including 4 potential electric wheelchair users.
    • Procedural and task-oriented parameters were systematically investigated.

    Main Results:

    • The simulation provided a visual representation of wheelchair navigation.
    • Initial testing indicated the simulator's potential as an aid in the evaluation and adaptation process.
    • Specific influences on the learning effect were observed during the simulation tasks.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computer-aided simulator shows promise as a tool for electric wheelchair evaluation and adaptation.
    • While valuable, the simulator does not capture all necessary information for complete adaptation.
    • Further research is recommended to enhance the simulator's capabilities and validate its effectiveness.
