  1. Assessment of learning powered mobility use—Applying grounded theory to occupational performance Lisbeth Nilsson, PhD, OTR; Josephine Durkin, PhD, DipCOT

  2. Aim • To merge and modify existing learning tools and further develop learning strategies for powered mobility. • Relevance • Powered mobility use is an area of occupational performance that develops as a result of practice. • A learning continuum allows clinicians to assess where learner is in process.

  3. Method • We undertook rigorous process of comparative reanalysis that included merging, modifying, and expanding our previous research findings. • A new instrument (plus its facilitating strategies) emerged from revisits to our existing rich account of data taken from real environment powered mobility practice over an extensive time period.

  4. Results • Instrument descriptors, categories, phases, and stages help facilitator assess phase and plot occupational performance, providing learner with just-right challenge through learning process. • Facilitating strategies are described for each phase and provide directions for involvement during learner performance. • Learning approach is based on belief system that intervention is user-led, working in partnership and empowering learning.

  5. Conclusion • The new assessment tool is inclusive of every potential powered mobility user because it focuses on whole continuum of learning process of powered mobility use, from novice to expert. • The new tool was appraised by clinicians and used successfully in clinical practice in the United Kingdom and Sweden.
