När en person inte kan vara delaktig i meningsfulla aktiviteter kan hjälpmedel vara ett måste för att underlätta. Studier har visat att elrullstol möjliggör delaktighet, och detta kan därmed leda till en ökad livskvalitet. Fyra personer medverkade i denna studie, baserad på Canadian Model of Occupational Performance, CMOP. Två tekniker användes för datainsamlingen. Dels utfördes en intervju och dels skattade informanterna, med hjälp av VAS, sin upplevelse av delaktighet och livskvalitet före och efter att de fått sin elrullstol.
