Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of early provision (less-than-or-eq, slant 8 years) of a powered wheelchair (PWC) in children with tetraplegia. The authors concluded that PWCs can aid independence and socialization and the majority of children can achieve a good-enough driving competence, even those with severe learning disability or motor deficit. PWCs should not be viewed as a last resort but as a means of providing efficient self-locomotion in children with a severe motor deficit.
