ARLINGTON, Va. – RESNA has posted a draft position paper called “RESNA Position on the Application of Ultralight Manual Wheelchairs: Literature Update 2021” for a required 60-day public comment period. All RESNA members and stakeholders in the assistive technology community are invited to submit comments. “This paper intends to contribute to the evidence-based practice that we all try to implement on an every-day basis,” RESNA states. “We are combining lived experiences through clinical examples, research evidence and professional expertise to synthesize the current body of evidence supporting the provision and recommendation of ultralight MWCs.” The updated paper was initiated in April 2020, following approval by the RESNA board of directors. It’s meant to build on a previous position paper finalized in 2012. RESNA’s position papers are an official statement by the organization that, based on the consensus of experts and evidence, summarizes current research and best-practice trends in relevant areas of assistive technology. They undergo a rigorous process of development, review and approval. For more about the position paper process and to see other papers, go here.
