A Participatory Approach to Develop the Power Mobility Screening Tool and the Power Mobility Clinical Driving Assessment Tool

Table 9

The power mobility screening tool (PMST).

Motor
Driver can functionally control an interface (joystick, head control, etc.) with appropriate body part to drive the chair	1–3
Driver controls chair with sufficient endurance (ability to tolerate sitting and operating the interface)	1–3
Sensory
Driver can identify an object (e.g., therapy ball) 2 meters away with clinic in background, in left, center, and right visual fields	1–3
Cognitive
Driver displays ability to understand cause and effect (action on the control interface will move the chair)	1–3
Driver has ability to focus, concentrate, attend to task, and shift focus within the task during screening	1–3
Total	5–15

See Appendix C.1 for instructions on using the PMST.
