Beginning in 1998, the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research mandated that each newly funded Rehabilitation Engineering and Research Center (RERC) hold a state-of-the-science consensus forum during the third year of its 5-year funding cycle. NIDRR's aim in formalizing this agenda-setting process was to facilitate the formulation of future research and development priorities for each respective RERC. In February 2001, the RERC on Wheeled Mobility, University of Pittsburgh, conducted one of the first such forums. The scope encompassed both current scientific knowledge and clinical issues. In preparation, expert interviews were carried out to establish the focus for the forum. Because a stakeholder forum on wheelchair technology had recently been held, opinion favored wheelchair seating as the focus and included the following core areas: seating for use in wheelchair transportation, seated postural control, seating discomfort, and tissue integrity management. The aim of this report is to present a summary of the workshop outcomes, describe the process, and increase awareness of this agenda-setting process in order to enhance future participation in a process that critically influences the field of wheeled mobility.

The quality of life of an individual is reflective of the overall effectiveness of the wheelchair and seating system when considering activities of daily living. Therefore, it is imperative that the multidisciplinary team of rehabilitation professionals considers the wheelchair not just within the clinic, but in the full context of an individual’s life. To do so, rehabilitation professionals must understand current technologies in assistive technology as well as best practices for service delivery, and execute a systematic approach to wheelchair assessment. Successful wheelchair outcomes occur when clinicians are well versed in available equipment, its intended application, and all seating and positioning parameters. Fitting, training, and follow-up are just as important as device selection and are essential to a successful match between patient and device.
