This presentation explores the full range of power assist devices available to wheelchair users. We will go over Rear Mount, Front Mount, Push Rim Activated and Joystick Operated Power Assist Devices. We discuss, the need/benefit for power assist, how they are operated, how they mount on/off the chair and what client physical/cognitive function is suited to each device. We discuss the devices in a general groups (e.g. all joystick powered devices) and get into the detailed specification differences between similar models available (e.g. Alber E-Fix VS Quickie iXpress).

A collaborative research team between RTI International and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is examining the links between implementation science and engagement science. The study will develop a list of priority research topics related to engagement science that can be pursued through the course of dissemination and implementation (D&I) research.

They aim to hold a series of virtual focus groups that include both implementation and engagement scientists. Individuals interested in participating in the focus groups must complete this prescreen. The final deadline to submit the survey is August 11, 2023.

Implementation Science Collaborative (ISC) is a multi-stakeholder network addressing a range of health and development priorities through the better use of evidence to inform implementation. The ISC leverages USAID's Health Evaluation and Applied Research Development (HEARD) Project partnership to advance priorities across diverse thematic areas, such as woman-centered care, mental health and psychosocial support, protecting children from violence, and assistive technologies.
