Power mobility with collision avoidance for older adults: User, caregiver, and prescriber perspectives. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(9):x–x. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2012.10.0181 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2012.10.0181JSP Aim – Explore user, caregiver, and prescriber views on power mobility devices (PMDs) with collision avoidance (CA) technology. Relevance – CA technology can facilitate safer mobility for older PMD users with physical, sensory, and cognitive impairments. – Little is known about consumers’ perceptions of CA.

Power mobility with collision avoidance for older adults: User, caregiver, and prescriber perspectives. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(9):x–x. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2012.10.0181 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2012.10.0181JSP Method Qualitative research approach was used and thematic analysis was applied to analyze in- depth, semistructured interview data from: – 29 PMD users (aged 50+). – 5 caregivers. – 10 occupational therapists. Example of intelligent power wheelchair.

4 This article and any supplementary material should be cited as follows: Wang RH, Korotchenko A, Hurd Clarke L, Mortenson WB, Mihailidis A. Power mobility with collision avoidance for older adults: User, caregiver, and prescriber perspectives. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(9):x–x. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2012.10.0181 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2012.10.0181JSP Results Data analysis identified 3 themes: – Useful situations or contexts. Driving backward, avoiding dynamic obstacles, negotiating outdoor barriers, and learning PMD use. – Technology design issues and real life application. Context awareness, reliability, and user interface specifications. – Appropriateness of collision avoidance technology for a variety of users.

Some participants voiced concerns regarding injury risk. Users expressed desire to maintain driving autonomy, which supports development of collaboratively controlled systems.
