Exploring the Clinical Usefulness of the Wheelchair Outcome Measure for Young People

The Wheelchair Outcome Measure for Young People (WhOM-YP) is a client-centred outcome measure for evaluation of seating and mobility interventions for those 18 years and younger. An online survey will gather information on the clinical usefulness of the WhOM-YP in relation to its content, format, and application with a pediatric population. Feedback on the measure, manual and instruction video will inform further development.
