▼a The majority of wheelchairs delivered in less-resourced settings fail prematurely. This issue has been recognized by the WHO Guidelines that recommend product testing based on field conditions to evaluate and improve wheelchair quality. |
| 520 | |
▼a This work is motivated from WHO's recommendation and this is first scientific study investigating inclusion of environmental conditions in wheelchair testing. The goals of this work were to develop a testing protocol for wheelchair casters based |
| 520 | |
▼a In this study, an evidence-based approach was followed in which wheelchair testing evidence, expert advice, and field evidence were continually triangulated to inform the testing protocol development. A literature review (Chapter 1) was carried |

▼a Based on study findings, environmental factors strongly influence both the time-to-failure and failure mode for caster models. We recommend that environmental exposure need to be considered as part of wheelchair testing protocols to help improve |
