The aim of the smartphone virtual seating coach (SVSC) was to provide a personalized reminder/warning system to encourage powered wheelchair users to use their powered seating functions (PSFs) as clinically recommended. This study evaluated the usability of the SVSC system by gathering feedback from five powered wheelchair users and five rehabilitation professionals through questionnaires and interviews. The results indicated that clear and understandable instructions to adjust the PSFs are the most important requirement for SVSC application. The instructions must be intuitive, could benefit from animations or indications of PSFs control buttons so powered wheelchair users can adjust their PSFs immediately and appropriately.
智能手机虚拟座位指导系统（SVSC）的目的是提供一个个性化的提醒/警告系统，以鼓励电动轮椅使用者按照临床建议使用其电动座位功能（PSF）。本研究通过问卷调查和访谈收集了五名电动轮椅使用者和五名康复专业人员的反馈，以评估SVSC系统的可用性。结果表明，调整PSF的清晰易懂的说明是SVSC应用的最重要要求。这些说明必须直观，可受益于PSF控制按钮的动画或指示，以便电动轮椅使用者能够立即且适当地调整其PSF。
