TL;DR: The WST is practical, safe, well tolerated, exhibits good to excellent reliability, excellent content validity, fair construct and concurrent validity, and moderate usefulness and makes an important contribution toward meeting the need for a well-validated outcome measure of manual wheelchair ability.

TL;DR: Kirby et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the measurement properties of the wheelchair skills test (WST), version 2.4, and found that the test-retest, intrarater, and interrater reliabilities were determined on a subset of 20 wheelchair users.

TL;DR: Examining four different families and two sporadic cases and detected missense sequence variants in SCN9A to be present in primary erythermalgia patients establish primary eriesmia as a neuropathic disorder and offers hope for treatment of this incapacitating painful disorder.

TL;DR: The WSTP is safe and practical and has a clinically significant effect on the independent wheeled mobility of new wheelchair users and has implications for the standards of care in rehabilitation programs.

TL;DR: Wheelchair skills training of community-based manual wheelchair users is efficacious, safe, and practical, and these findings have implications for the standard of rehabilitation care.
