MEASUREMENT PROPERTIES OF THE FRENCH-CANADIAN VERSION OF THE WHEELCHAIR SKILLS TEST: PRELIMINARY RESULTS

The Wheelchair Skills Program (WSP) is an integrated system to evaluate and train a wide range of manual wheelchair skills. It is increasingly used in clinics and for research purposes. Until recently, it was only available in English. In this paper, preliminary results regarding reliability and validity of the French-Canadian version are presented. Results should help to improve the wheelchair-provision process, provide a protocol for testing and training Francophone wheelchair users, and support the dissemination of the WSP in Francophone countries.
