The aim of this clinical investigation is to develop a reliable and valid device to instantly measure the subject's sitting posture in a wheelchair, without using the MCPAA scale.
Each subject will be invited to a single experimental session lasting approximately one hour, during which all assessments will be performed. During the visit, the patient will complete an autonomy questionnaire and assess wheelchair fatigue. A spirometry test will be performed. The measurements will then be recorded by the BePoW software and the occupational therapist.

14 measurements taken with the device
MCPAA : measurement of seated postural control in adults in French 12 measurements taken with the goniometer
Pôle Saint Hélier
Rennes, Brittany Region, France
Reliability assessment: intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between BePoW measurements
12 data records for each measurement for intra ICC
Time frame: Immediately after inclusion
Validity assessment: correlation coefficient r between raw goniometric measurements and BePoW measurements,
kappa coefficient between recoded measurements : BePow / MCPAA
Time frame: Immediately after inclusion
Assess the validity of BePoW measurements in relation to fatigability.
assessment using a visual numerical scale, from 0 to 10
Time frame: Immediately after inclusion
Assess the validity of BePoW measurements in relation to autonomy.
assessment by the MIF (Measure of Functional Independence) questionnaire from 21 (total dependence) to 47 (completely independent)
Time frame: Immediately after inclusion
Assessing the validity of BePoW measurements in relation to respiratory capacity
assessed by the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) to FEV1 at 6 seconds (FEV 6). Spirometry will be performed 3 times, with the highest value retained.
Time frame: Immediately after inclusion
