This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Census Bureau has reported that 56.7 million Americans had some type of disability in 2010, which represents 18.7 percent of the civilian noninstitutionalized population included in the 2010 Survey of Income and Program Participation. The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. As of December 2015, approximately 11 million individuals were SSDI beneficiaries, and about 8 million were SSI beneficiaries. SSA currently considers assistive devices in the nonmedical and medical areas of its program guidelines. During determinations of substantial gainful activity and income eligibility for SSI benefits, the reasonable cost of items, devices, or services applicants need to enable them to work with their impairment is subtracted from eligible earnings, even if those items or services are used for activities of daily living in addition to work. In addition, SSA considers assistive devices in its medical disability determination process and assessment of work capacity. The Promise of Assistive Technology to Enhance Activity and Work Participation provides an analysis of selected assistive products and technologies, including wheeled and seated mobility devices, upper-extremity prostheses, and products and technologies selected by the committee that pertain to hearing and to communication and speech in adults.

Download or read book Comparison of the Level of Safety of Manual Wheelchair Use Verus Power Wheelchair Use in the Pediatric Population written by Heidi Asbury and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and Purpose. Assistive devices such as wheelchairs are used by children with mobility limitations and all over the world for the purpose of increasing independence and mobility. This freedom of mobility raises the issue of safety provided by either the manual or power wheelchair. Researchers have looked at the safety of manual and power wheelchairs separately and identified factors that increase aild decrease risks associated with wheelchair accidents. Currently there is no data comparing the level of safety between manual and power wheelchair use. The purpose of this study was to identify only differences in safety concerns between a manual versus a power wheelchair. Methods. This study was conducted as a research survey and was distributed to parents of pediatric individuals who were wheelchair users. These children were living in the Portland metropolitan area and were independent in wheelchair mobility. The level of safety was determined by a numerical scale. Results. As predicted, there was no statistically significant difference in safety between power and manual wheelchair use. Conclusion and Discussion. Although no statistical significance was found in the total safety level, significant differences were found in individual safety questions: This data will be used to provide healthcare professionals, caregivers, and wheelchair manufactures information so that a safer wheelchair can be prescribed, designed, and distributed to children with mobility limitations.
