Overview
Brief Summary
The device which is the subject of this investigation is a robotic assistance module for the driving of a semi-autonomous electric wheelchair (FRE). It's intended to accessorize the FRE to improve the safety conditions during the driving of a FRE, making it possible to decrease the rate of accident in wheelchair on the one hand, increase the confidence of driving on the other hand, and facilitate the access to the FRE of people not being able to aspire to it without the use of a device of safety of this type.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Evaluate benefits of using a FRE equipped with the assistance module on the confidence in driving electric wheelchair for elderly people in EHPAD
Time Frame: Day 42
Evaluation by using the under score of confidence of Wheelchair Skill Test questionnaire (WST-Q-T 5.1) during the period of use of the module and at the end. The score goes from 0 to 56 (56 is the higher level of confidence).
Secondary Outcomes
- Distance traveled measured by sensors on the FRE(Day 21, Day 42 and Day 63)
- Driving habilities(Day 42 and Day 63)
- Acceptability of anti-collision sensors by users(Day 42)
- Mesure of mental load related to wheelchair mobility(Day 21, Day 42 and Day 63)
- Ease of Use Questionnaire(Day 42)
