Reliability and validity of the power-mobility community driving assessment

The Power-Mobility Community Driving Assessment (PCDA) is a performance-based measure designed to assess driving performance of individuals using power wheelchairs or handicap scooters in community environments. This article reports the results of pilot testing and an evaluation of the assessment’s reliability and validity. Pilot testing was conducted with a random selection of Canadian occupational therapists working in the area of mobility. Although the response rate was very low, feedback confirmed the utility of the measure and contributed to one substantive scoring revision. Reliability and validity testing was conducted with a sample of 34 drivers. Internal consistency results were positive. Interrater reliability was fair to high but limited by the lack of variability in the scores. Construct validity hypotheses were tested on the relationships between PCDA scores and vision, perception, cognition, and environmental accessibility. Results indicated no relationships between the PCDA and perceptual and cognitive function and only a weak trend for a relationship with environmental accessibility. Concurrent validity was established: PCDA scores were positively associated with the judgments of therapists familiar with the driving performance of participants. In summary, the PCDA has moderate to good reliability, and content and concurrent validity results were found. More research is needed, particularly on the underlying constructs of successful driving performance. At this point, rehabilitation professionals and their clients are urged to use this assessment to establish driving performance rather than relying on assessments of perception, cognition, or environmental accessibility to predetermine whether someone will receive power mobility. Clinicians may find this a useful tool to identify where clients are able to drive safely in community settings, to identify specific learning needs, and, through those, to promote independent living for drivers of power-mobility devices.

 While in college, I had the good fortune to visit the sponsors of my scholarship, executives at the Santa Fe Railway. On that day, my hosts asked if I would mind going with them to a business lunch. I wasn’t quite sure what they had in mind, but I quickly agreed. I was curious about what business people do when they get together.

Arriving at one of the largest hotels in Chicago, I was astonished to see that thousands of executives were overflowing a ballroom to hear a guest speaker. I felt like a fly on the wall as the people at my table discussed everything under the sun that had anything to do with business. As a French history major, I mostly smiled and nodded politely. Boy, was I in over my head!

I had the same daunted feeling about a year later when I returned to Chicago to interview for a summer job in customer relations for Inland Steel. I wasn’t quite sure how steel was made, what customer relations were, and why they might be able to use someone who knew a little about French history and not much else. After accepting the job, that feeling continued for some time until I accidentally helped solve a problem for a customer and made my mark.

After college, I headed off to law school where visions of torts and briefs continually danced in my head like the sugar plum fairies in The Nutcracker. I took a detour when a friend encouraged me to enroll in some marketing courses at Harvard Business School. I looked into the classes and decided to go ahead. But everything was a mystery. Wherever I went, I had to ask the most basic questions . . . explaining that I was a law student who wanted to learn about marketing.

Once in class, I was buried in buzz words. What were they talking about? After a few weeks, I understood most of the buzz words and started to relax. I even smiled once in awhile. But I never said a word in class, even though that was a major part of my grade. Help!

I was intrigued by what I heard and became very interested in learning more. I began to ask classmates about how to gain more knowledge, short of taking a whole MBA degree. They told me that there were some jobs that were a lot like earning an MBA degree, and you could get paid while learning.

They encouraged me to become a strategy consultant at The Boston Consulting Group. Classmates also told me about a marketing course I could take that was a lot like being a strategy consultant. Trusting them, I enrolled.

Five of us were put together as a team to do an assignment for a real business, one run by a Harvard MBA graduate. Naturally, I wanted to defer to the other people on the team. They expected that, too. But it soon became clear that I knew some things that they didn’t. I began to offer suggestions, and the team gave me assignments. Before long I was pulling my weight. Boy, did I ever feel a lot better at that point!

With that success under my belt (it was the toughest course required before graduating with an MBA), I felt like I could hold my own in a strategy consulting environment. I applied for such a job and got one.

The effect was like magic. My confidence grew, and I found the work to be a lot more satisfying than what novice lawyers do. Gaining an MBA-equivalent work experience gave me a fast start in a very fine business career, one that has greatly exceeded my expectations.

If I hadn’t studied with MBAs to find out what they do and how well I could do the same tasks, I don’t think I would have had the confidence to start a business career. I might instead be off in a corner today doing research and writing long memos at some very large law firm. I am deeply grateful that I got that career-enhancing opportunity.

But not everyone can cross-register from law school to take a few MBA courses. I was lucky that door was open to me. Today, the door to getting a glimpse of MBA knowledge is more open than ever before, but the door leads more often leads to a part-time online MBA program than to a few courses at a bricks-and-mortar business school.

Why do I say that? Well, it’s because of experiences of people like Mr. Adam Mayingu who have used an online MBA to gain the kind of confidence, satisfaction, and success that I gained. Let me tell you a little about him so that you will understand my point.

Like many promising young people, Mr. Mayingu graduated from college after having done well at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, an East African nation. He started his career in 1989 with an entry-level job in information technology and advanced rapidly by building his technical skills. By 1998, he was head of Information Systems at a commercial bank. In addition, he had started some entrepreneurial ventures that he worked on during his time away from the bank.

While working for the bank, he made a substantial contribution by leading a project to install the first wide-area banking system in Tanzania that allowed bank customers to make transactions in their accounts at any one of the bank’s offices. As a result of the improved service, the image of the bank improved, and it went from losing money to being profitable.

At that point Mr. Mayingu found that studying for an MBA degree was attractive to him. He wanted to be able to shift into a career in business management, to learn how to be a more successful entrepreneur, and to have the fun of learning new things. As a busy person who couldn’t afford taking time off to study business full-time, an online MBA degree was the only option. After exploring the choices available, he selected Rushmore University for his studies.

Mr. Mayingu was pleased to find that MBA studies gave him better ideas for which personal businesses to develop and how to operate them. In addition, he gained a lot of confidence in his ability to present ideas in writing and through public speaking.

After graduating, Mr. Mayingu selected a new job as Head of Information Systems for the Public Service Pensions Fund in Tanzania. In this role, his expertise has become so widely appreciated that he now serves as a vice-chairperson on the Technical Commission on Information and Communication Technology for the International Social Security Association based in Geneva, Switzerland. Mr. Mayingu is confident that he can handle any challenge.

One of his future plans is to write a book about his experiences that he is tentative titling “From the Shop Floor to the Board Room.” He is also considering enrolling for an online doctoral program to satisfy his love of learning.

How many talented people lack the confidence to develop their abilities in ways that would benefit everyone? I don’t know, but there must be hundreds of millions of such people.

I hope that more of them will test the waters through enrolling in excellent online MBA programs.

Will you be one of them?

All you have to lose is your lack of confidence in your talent by building your knowledge and experience in practical ways.

 Breaking through the entrepreneurial glass ceiling is not easy for an entrepreneur. However, yes, it can be done.

What is the Entrepreneurial Glass Ceiling? It’s simple: we start our business, we work all areas of it ourselves. We think of it, we work it, we sacrifice day in and day out. Nobody can do it as well as we can nor can they do it with the same drive and dedication.

We skip time off and go ten years without a vacation. We endlessly hire and eventually fire people always searching for employees that are the clone of ourselves. It is an endless cycle where we are trapped within the limits of time and energy. There are only so many hours in the day that we can do it all. Eventually a limit is reached. That limit is the Entrepreneurial Glass Ceiling where we, as one person, can do no more.

When things go wrong, we go in like a bull in a china shop, shake things up and start again, building another cycle that will eventually end this way. There are very few entrepreneurs that have not experienced this endless cycle. Breaking through is again, possible, with the right actions done in the right way.

What are those actions?

The actions, an outline of what to do, will stem from setting up the big picture goal of getting your business to a point where it can run and make a profit without you. Most entrepreneurs, even on paper as an owner of a business, really only have a job. They are ironically trapped in a job within a company they own. The following three action steps, the “Three Steps to Anything,” can begin to free a business owner from their endless cycle.

Action Step 1

Do a thorough examination. No doctor will ever prescribe a medicine without performing an examination, and neither should you. Tinkering with your business can be catastrophic unless you know exactly what to do. So, step back and examine it first.

Action Step 2

Find solutions. Look at everything. Forget whether you like the solutions or not, just list them out. At a later time you can filter through whether they are positive or negative or you like or dislike them.

Action Step 3

Take action. Put the right solution in place for you and your business.

These are the three steps to owning a business, not a job. These are the three steps to breaking through the entrepreneurial glass ceiling.

Individuals and companies who tend to see the greatest success in developing and implementing powerful solutions that help their business to make a profit independently of themselves are motivated, open-minded, trusting of themselves and others, and quick to respond. In other words, they do these steps, they take action.

In business, the slower you react, the more money it can cost you as an entrepreneur. Individuals who tend to procrastinate often don’t trust themselves to “fail successfully” and likewise won’t trust others. Taking action will put the right systems in place to eventually free you from your job. It will create a business that support you, your skills and your lifestyle.

 There are a number of reasons to seek alternative ways to earn money for your family. Recent downfalls in the global economy, recessions and increasing layoff incidents on local jobs may highly encourage most of us to enter into income-generating activities that may assist or even increase our normal earnings. Due to the ever growing technology of the Internet, more online business opportunities are generated through this virtual market. The World Wide Web opens its way even with middle-class societies due to the sudden drop of Internet service costs. It is also the same reason for the rapid increase in opportunity seekers entering into the online business.

Everyone is surely fond of sweet treats such as chocolates. Whether it is for self indulgence or a gift for a loved one, chocolate has been a mere symbol of sweetness and pleasure. For this reason, engaging into chocolate business is a highly recommended income generating profession. Creating your own chocolate factory may be a tremendous task for a starter, thus retailing may be a very good option in setting up your very own business. Having your own chocolate store is quite rewarding although it may also have certain risks and requires effort to start up. If you really want to engage into chocolate business in the comfort of your home, why not try setting up an online franchise.

Having this kind of online business is very common nowadays. First of all, it does not need a high education nor require a certain level of sales expertise. It costs cheaper and provides the entrepreneurs to keep track on the business through the Internet. Online business has reached its popularity in developed countries such as United States, Australia, Canada, Japan and United Kingdom.

There are online companies that offer Internet users to start up their own online business by being a chocolate distributor. One of the popular companies that offer this type of online franchise is MXI Corporation creators of Xocai the Healthy Chocolate. MXI Corp. is the worldwide supplier of Xocai dark chocolates. This company has an online application for retailers of their chocolate products. By providing some personal information such as contact details and shipping or mailing address, you can immediately start up your own online business.

The distributor application can be acknowledged after purchasing as little as only 2 cases of chocolates and for you to agree to receive an auto shipment of just 1 case per month with this your business center will be activated and you can start earning profits. Each case can last 1 person an entire month assuming they eat the recommended daily amount. However if you are a truly serious about starting a new secure online career and taking control of securing your financial future you can also choose to purchase 6 cases to start which allows you to have 3 business centers instead of just one. This gives you the opportunity to make much more money than just having 1 business center with absolutely no additional work. You can find out more information about this on the site listed in this article.

Management of the online purchases may be tracked down using a Virtual Office. The distributor is provided with an exclusive user name and password to be used in accessing the Virtual Office site. The site displays the details of online purchases. The Virtual Office site also notifies the distributor of upcoming promotional schemes and newly released Xocai chocolate products.

With the popularity of chocolate and the accessibility of an online franchise, the alternative options you seek to increase your income are just clicks away.

Aerobic capacity and peak power output of elite quadriplegic games players.

BACKGROUND: Participation in wheelchair sports such as tennis and rugby enables people with quadriplegia to compete both individually and as a team at the highest level. Both sports are dominated by frequent, intermittent, short term power demands superimposed on a background of aerobic activity. OBJECTIVE: To gain physiological profiles of highly trained British quadriplegic athletes, and to examine the relation between aerobic and sprint capacity. METHODS: Eight male quadriplegic athletes performed an arm crank exercise using an ergometer fitted with a Schoberer Rad Messtechnik (SRM) medicare power wheelchairs powermeter. The sprint test consisted of three maximum-effort sprints of five seconds duration against a resistance of 2%, 3%, and 4% of body mass. The highest power output obtained was recorded (PPO). Peak oxygen consumption (V(O2peak)), peak heart rate (HR(peak)), and maximal power output (PO(aer)) were determined. RESULTS: Mean PO(aer) was 67.7 (16.2) W, mean V(O2peak) was 0.96 (0.17) litres/min, and HR(peak) was 134 (19) beats/min for the group. There was high variability among subjects. power wheelchairs Peak power over the five second sprint for the group was 220 (62) W. There was a significant correlation between V(O2peak) (litres/min) and PO(aer) (W) (r = 0.74, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These British quadriplegic athletes have relatively high aerobic fitness when compared with the available literature. Moreover, the anaerobic capacity of these athletes appeared to be relatively high compared with paraplegic participants.

 Weve researched and written countless business plans. What do we believe are the essential elements of an attractive business plan?

Profiles
Strange as it may seem, perhaps the most important element of the business will be the profiles of the people who are behind the plan. Not only should there be a profile of the person who has generated the vision but also those others on the team, demonstrating that they too are engaged with the passion to design the business plan and to deliver the customer outcomes.

The profiles should demonstrate that individually and collectively the team has the experience and skills to deliver the plan within the budget constraints. The document should describe those previous business ideas that the team members have realised. If theyve done something similar to the current proposal it should be described. If there is an opportunity, the plan should describe the team and its members track record in innovation, in change management and in cost and time management.

But also the business plan should be honest in an assessment of the other skills and experience still need to be added to ensure that the team is balanced to meet the needs of the project.

Collateral
A key aspect of any business plan is likely to be the proposal to buy or develop assets. The plan needs to address how (or even if) such assets will hold their value for the long-term benefit of the business and how the collateral for the required investment will be provided.

Such a demonstration of value retention will come from describing how the investment value will be crystallised, probably on exit. The plan needs to detail whether the developed asset will be sold on as part of a trade sale or part of a future floatation - and, if so, detail of comparable transactions can be used to provide reassurance of value on exit.

In the case of some proposals - for example a rooms refurbishment programme - there may not, in fact, be any long-term value creation. Rather there will be an avoidance of value loss and this can be just as valuable, so long as it can be demonstrated.

Occasionally, the business plan will be proposing development of an asset that will create new intellectual property. In such circumstances, the plan should identify how intellectual property is going to be protected.

USP
The business plan also needs to clearly establish what is the unique selling proposition (USP) that the investment will deliver and, just as importantly, how the USP will be defended.
In the case of a new build hotel, one of the USPs will, of course, relate to the location since this cant be replicated. Other aspects of the development may be capable of being copied, so the plan needs to establish how the business is going to defend itself.

Branding is one form of defence since a franchise will normally come with radius protection for a number of years. If the plan includes development of a signature restaurant, a plausible defence would be a restraint clause on the chef from running off and creating something similar down the road. Sometimes owners will see a 20-year management agreement as an encumbrance but, in the context of a long term funding request, such an agreement provides the lender with certainty that the brands USP can be defended for the long term.

The management contract provides a further type of defence too as it offers the probability that the hotels general manager will be qualified and suitably supervised throughout the life of the investment. This will more likely suggest a long-term defendable profit picture to an investor or lender than a situation where an individual hotel owner is proposing to borrow and operate an unbranded hotel by themselves.

Growth
The fourth topic that a business plan needs to address is the nature of the demand being targeted.

The investor or the bank will want assurance that the investment is targeted at meeting the needs of a growth segment of the market.

In the case of an investment driven by a brands requirements to meet new needs better, evidence for the change in market meets will be provided by the licensor. In other cases, the team proposing the investment need to have researched the market themselves, or commissioned independent research, to provide evidence of the growth in market demand being targeted by the investment.

Some investment proposals will be necessary simply to enable the hotel to stay in business (e.g. the replacement of a kitchen stove) and, in this case, the plan needs to be frank, explaining that the investment is required simply to defend current profitability.

A mature management team will not seek to support an investment proposal that is essentially defensive with arguments that are suited to an investment targeted at expanding the business. And it may well be valid to target investment at an element of cost that is rapidly growing with a view to reducing the long-term cost as it is to target investment at a revenue stream will long-term growth potential.

Market demand
Its all very well to target a growth sector; market demand must also be demonstrated. The use of market research, focus groups, interviews with customers and intermediaries should be produce evidence for the business plan that not only is investment being targeted at a growth segment but that there is also demonstrable demand.

Sometimes competitors will provide evidence of demand; sometimes experience in other markets and other countries will provide the evidence. An investor will typically fail to attract funding for a proposal that is all vision and no evidence, just as a management team will fail to attract support for a budget that is all evidence and no passion.

Scalable
A business plan addressed to lenders should adequately cap the exposure to lines of credit. By comparison, a business plan addressed to current or future investors will frequently be more successful if the proposal provides for the scalability of the proposal. Investors will not want to be limited by a single location but will more inclined to invest in a new idea if it can be rolled out to other locations.

Emotion
Finally, and not to be forgotten in any plan, budget, board submission, loan application, etc., is to include - and repeat - the wow factor.

Even in todays hardened times, all the stakeholders - the investor, the board members, the lender and the employees - needs to be emotionally engaged by the idea, the opportunity, the vision.

Although it pains me as an accountant to say so, this almost certainly means that the businesss conservative accountant should not be the plans author.

Weve researched and scripted countless business plans. What do we believe are the essential elements of an attractive line plan?

Profiles
Strange as it may seem, maybe the most important ingredient of the business will be the profiles of the masses who are behind the plan. Not only should there be a profile of the person who has generated the vision but also those others on the team, demonstrating that they too are engaged with the passion to design the business organisation plan and to deliver the customer outcomes.

The profiles should certify that separately and collectively the team has the feel and skills to deliver the plan inside the budget constraints. The document should describe those previous business ideas that the team members have realised. If theyve done something similar to the current proposal it should be described. If there is an opportunity, the plan should line the team and its members track record in innovation, in change management and in cost and time management.

But also the concern plan should be dependable in an assessment of the other skills and experience still need to be added to ensure that the team is balanced to meet the needs of the project.

Collateral
A key aspect of any business plan is probably to be the proposal to buy or explicate assets. The plan needs to address how (or even if) such assets will hold their value for the long-term benefit of the business concern and how the verificatory for the needful investing will be provided.

Such a presentation of value retention will come from describing how the investment funds value will be crystallised, plausibly on exit. The plan needs to particular whether the developed asset will be sold on as part of a trade sale or part of a future floatation - and, if so, contingent of like transactions can be used to put up reassurance of value on exit.

In the case of some proposals - for example a rooms refurbishment programme - there may not, in fact, be any long-run value creation. sort of there will be an turning away of value loss and this can be just as valuable, so long as it can be demonstrated.

Occasionally, the job plan will be proposing evolution of an asset that will create new intellectual property. In such circumstances, the plan should identify how intellectual prop is going to be protected.

USP
The business plan also needs to clearly establish what is the unique marketing proposition (USP) that the investiture will give up and, just as importantly, how the USP will be defended.
In the case of a new build hotel, one of the USPs will, of course, relate to the location since this cant be replicated. Other aspects of the development may be capable of being copied, so the plan needs to set up how the business is going to defend itself.

Branding is one form of defence since a franchise will normally come with radius trade protection for a number of years. If the plan includes evolution of a signature restaurant, a plausible defence would be a chasteness clause on the chef from running off and creating something standardized down the road. Sometimes owners will see a 20-year management agreement as an encumbrance but, in the context of use of a long term funding request, such an correspondence provides the lender with certainty that the brands USP can be defended for the long term.

The management contract provides a further type of defence reaction too as it offers the probability that the hotels general manager will be qualified and fitly supervised throughout the life of the investment. This will more plausible suggest a long-run defendable profit picture to an investor or lender than a situation where an individual hotel owner is proposing to take over and operate an unbranded hotel by themselves.

Growth
The fourth topic that a business organization plan needs to speak is the nature of the involve being targeted.

The investor or the bank will want assurance that the investment is targeted at meeting the needs of a growth segment of the market.

In the case of an investment compulsive by a brands requirements to meet new needs better, evidence for the exchange in market meets will be provided by the licensor. In other cases, the team proposing the investing need to have researched the market themselves, or licensed independent research, to cater evidence of the growth in market demand being targeted by the investment.

Some investment proposals will be necessary simply to enable the hotel to stay in business enterprise (e.g. the replacement of a kitchen stove) and, in this case, the plan needs to be frank, explaining that the investiture is required plainly to defend current profitability.

A mature management team will not seek to support an investment marriage offer that is essentially defensive with arguments that are suited to an investment targeted at expanding the business. And it may well be valid to point investment at an component of cost that is speedily growth with a view to reducing the long-term cost as it is to target investment at a revenue stream will long-run maturation potential.

Market demand
Its all very well to target a growth sector; market demand must also be demonstrated. The use of market research, focus groups, interviews with customers and intermediaries should be produce evidence for the business plan that not only is investiture being targeted at a growth segment but that there is also demonstrable demand.

Sometimes competitors will provide evidence of demand; sometimes see in other markets and other countries will provide the evidence. An investor will typically fail to attract funding for a proposal that is all vision and no evidence, just as a management team will fail to attract support for a budget that is all tell and no passion.

Scalable
A occupation plan addressed to lenders should adequately cap the vulnerability to lines of credit. By comparison, a business sector plan addressed to current or future investors will frequently be more successful if the proposal provides for the scalability of the proposal. Investors will not want to be limited by a 1 location but will more bowed to invest in a new idea if it can be furled out to other locations.

Emotion

Even in todays hardened times, all the stakeholders - the investor, the board members, the lender and the employees - needs to be emotionally engaged by the idea, the opportunity, the vision.

The effect of providing power mobility on body weight change

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the provision of power mobility would have an effect on body weight in adults who were first-time qualifiers for power mobility. DESIGN: This was a retrospective observational study of consecutive subjects, who served as their own controls. The medical scooters, handicap scooters records of 468 subjects who were approved for power mobility during a 17-mo period were reviewed. Three weight groups (12 mos before, at, and 12 mos after the power mobility evaluation) were evaluated with repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). The weight changes on subjects in different age groups (45-54, 55-64, 65-74, and >74), in geriatric vs. nongeriatric groups, and in different body mass index (BMI) groups were analyzed. RESULTS: Eighty-nine subjects met the inclusion criteria. They were obese (49.4%), and most of them were geriatric (64%). Congestive heart failure (30.34%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (22.47%) were the two main presenting diagnoses. The repeated-measures ANOVA showed no significant weight change in the three studied weight groups. Similar results were seen in the age and BMI subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: There was no statistically significant weight change in adults who were first-time qualifiers and who used power mobility for 1 yr.
