지체부자유인의 휠체어 사용 실태 및 요구 조사 = A Study on the Using Realities and Satisfaction of the Wheelchair of the Disabled

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the fundamental information for the present status on the use of the wheelchairs. For this study, some types of questionnaires are given to 300 wheelchair users. As a result of this research we can know following: Wheelchair postural management is assumed to be a valid and necessary strategy in the care of individuals with wheelchair users. A properly prescribed wheelchair may be able to normalize tone, decrease pathologic reflex activity, improve postural symmetry, enhance range of motion, increase comfort and sitting tolerance, decrease fatigue, and improve function of the nervous system. Also, the optimal seating position and seating system in wheelchair ought to provide postural control and pressure relief. Therefore, identifying the optimal control system requires multiple evaluations by a wheelchair therapists.
