Illinois Assistive Technology Program - IATP

The Disability, Participation, and Quality of Life Laboratory (https://dpql.hk.illinois.edu/) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign invites you to participate in an online research study. This study aims to evaluate a newly developed measure called “Fall Concerns Scale for People Who Use Wheelchairs and Scooters (FCS-WC/S).” They are testing the tool to make sure it measures concerns about falling correctly and how it can help healthcare providers better assess fall-related concerns.

What will you do? Complete three online surveys over six months (each survey takes about 20-50 minutes).

Who can participate? You are eligible if you:
Are 18 years or older
Use a wheelchair or scooter for at least 75% of your mobility
Have used a wheelchair or scooter for at least the past 6 months
Can read and speak English
Are physically present in the United States.

You will be compensated with an Amazon gift card after each survey, totaling $40.
