The Disability, Participation, and Quality of Life Laboratory 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)”. We 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.
