EPIC WheelS Training Program

Subjects will attend an initial assessment/training session and receive a customized home program from their Trainer, which is delivered by way of a portable, interactive computer tablet that can be used for practice in their home or other community venues. After 2 weeks of practice, subjects return for a second 1-hour training session. The Trainer updates their program and they continue practicing at home for another 2 weeks. Subjects will have a caregiver attend all training sessions and supervise their home training. Trainers monitor subject activity remotely and will contact subjects by telephone at the end of weeks 1 and 3 to promote program adherence. Participants in an extra wheeling sub-group will be instructed to perform additional, unstructured wheeling for 15 minutes, 5 days per week and document these on a simple calendar-style form provided.
