PedMMSWC Wheelchair User TestingPedMMSWC Simulated Home, School, Community Environment
PedMMSWC Wheelchair User Testing: The PedMMSWC standing wheelchair prototype will be tested and compared with a standing frame during Experiment 1: In-Lab Testing.
PedMMSWC Simulated Home, School, Community Environment: The PedMMSWC standing wheelchair will be tested in a simulated home, school, and community environment. Participants will be given assigned tasks and be scored on completion of activities.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Comparison of a modified Wheelchair Skills Test with Participants wheelchair to the PedMMSWC — Day 1 The primary outcome measure for this aim is user performance on a modified Wheelchair Skills Test (mWST) under three test conditions: PedMMSWC in the seated position, PedMMSWC in the standing position, and the individuals' daily wheelchair.
The investigators hypothesize that performance on the mWST in the PedMMSWC will not be clinically inferior to performance in individuals' daily wheelchairs.
