The vertical wheeler is a new mobility aid that was specifically designed to help improve the quality of life for the handicapped child by providing mobility while standing. Results of a clinical trial in a population of patients with cerebral palsy are presented. Criteria were selected to allow evaluation of the rehabilitative effect of the device on the population. Results showed that the children in this cerebral palsy group all benefited from ambulation with the wheeler. Patients with spastic quadriparesis seemed to gain the most immediate benefit. The device contributed to improved mobility, posture, and self-image. The wheeler was safe and fun for the children. It has the potential for improving the psychologic and medical status of the child with severe locomotion impairment.
垂直轮椅是一种新型的助行工具，其专门设计用于通过让残疾儿童站立时实现移动来帮助改善他们的生活质量。本文展示了一项针对脑瘫患者群体的临床试验结果。选择了相应标准以评估该器械对这一群体的康复效果。结果表明，这个脑瘫组中的儿童都从使用轮椅行走中受益。痉挛性四肢瘫痪患者似乎获益最为直接。该器械有助于改善移动能力、姿势和自我形象。对于孩子们来说，这种轮椅既安全又有趣。它有潜力改善严重运动障碍儿童的心理和健康状况。
