    This paper compares results from the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST), an objective assessment, to the Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire (WST-Q), a subjective self-assessment, in terms of safety and capacity. Eighty-nine manual wheelchair users with at least six months experience completed both the WST and WST-Q. There was a high correlation between the WST and WST-Q for capacity (r=0.89) but a lower correlation for safety (r=0.251). Mean scores were higher on the WST-Q than the WST for capacity but similar for safety.

    Reference 4: Manual Wheelchair Skills: Objective Testing

    Versus Subjective
    Questionnaire

    This paper to compare result for Wheel chair test skills(WST) with wheel chair test
    questionnaire(WST-Q) in two terms safety and capacity

    Advantage of (WST)
    • to know how wheel chair users carries out the skills
    • Any problem of technique can be identified by this test

    Advantage of (WST-Q)
    • It use in any situation in which it is not feasible to assess them objectively
    • In busy clinic
    • Require less time
    Participants

     89 sample size manual wheel chair


     19 years old
     At least six months experience

    Method
    Using 32 skills was asked whether he/she believed himself/herself to be capable of performing each
    wheelchair skill and, if so, how he/she would perform the skill. In this study, the WST-Q questions were
    posed to assess capacity (rather than performance) because capacity is what is assessed by the WST. For
    both the WST and the WST-Q,
     Result
     The correlation factor between WST and WST-Q for capacity is r =0 .89
     The correlation factor between WST and WST-Q for safety is r =0.251
     Mean for WST capacity is 79.5%but for WST-Q 83%
     Mean for safety in WST 99.4% but for WST-Q 98.9%
