About this study
Official title: Evaluation on Standardized Circuits of the Interest of a Robotic Module of Assistance to the Driving of Patients With Neurological Disorders, Regular Drivers of Electric Wheelchairs.
The device that is the subject of this investigation is a robotic assistance module for driving a semi-autonomous electric wheelchair. This module is designed to accessorize the electric wheelchair to improve the safety conditions when driving an electric wheelchair, thus reducing the wheelchair accident rate on the one hand and facilitating access to the wheelchair to persons who can not claim it without the use of a safety device of this type.

The device that is the subject of this investigation is a robotic assistance module for driving a semi-autonomous electric wheelchair. This module is designed to accessorize the electric wheelchair to improve the safety conditions when driving an electric wheelchair, thus reducing the wheelchair accident rate on the one hand and facilitating access to the wheelchair to persons who can not claim it without the use of a safety device of this type.
Each patient included will test a wheelchair equipped with a collision avoidance assistance module in 2 conditions, assistance activated or not. This evaluation will be carried out in 3 standardized test circuits of increasing difficulty, one week apart. At each session, the patient will perform the circuit 6 times, including 3 with activated assistance, in a random order established upstream.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of collision
The primary judgment criterion is the number of collisions on different standardized circuits with and without activation of the robotic assistance module.
Measured: Day 1
Number of collision
The primary judgment criterion is the number of collisions on different standardized circuits with and without activation of the robotic assistance module.
Measured: Day 8
Number of collision
The primary judgment criterion is the number of collisions on different standardized circuits with and without activation of the robotic assistance module.
Measured: Day 15
Secondary outcomes (5)
Driving Speed
Speed measured by the completion time of the course with and without activation of the assistance system on the different circuits
Measured: Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15
Wheelchair Skill Test
Driving performance measured by the Wheelchair Skill Test items corresponding to the different courses, with and without activation of the assistance system
Measured: Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15
NASA-Task Load Index
The cognitive load of tests under both conditions will be measured by the NASA-Task Load Index. It is in the form of six scales where the participant must assign a score between zero and one hundred to each of them, score indicating a growing level of intensity. Three dimensions relate to the demands imposed on the subject (mental, physical and temporal demands) and three to the interaction of a subject with the task (effort, frustration and performance)
Measured: Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15
Ease of Use Questionnaire
The satisfaction of the use of the electric wheelchair under the conditions will be evaluated by the self-questionnaire Ease of Use Questionnaire. It measures the subjective usability of a product or service. It is a 30-item survey that examines four dimensions of usability: usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning, and satisfaction. The questionnaires were constructed as seven-point Likert rating scales. Users were asked to rate agreement with the statements, ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (7).
Measured: Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15
UTAUT (Unified theory of acceptance of technology) questionnaire
Questionnaire of acceptability / acceptance of the tool and its use by patients based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology (UTAUT).
Measured: Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Electric wheelchair with activated assistance module and Electric wheelchair with assistance module not activated in people with Neurological Disorders, run by Pôle Saint Hélier at 1 site in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of collision (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Sep 2026.
