RERC on wheelchair transportation safety crash tests.
Abstract: This series of videos show the simulation of a wheelchair and occupant experiencing a 30mph/20g sled test (the wheelchair and crash dummy experience a 30 mile per hour change in velocity and a deceleration equal to 20 times the force of gravity). Each segment shows the contribution of one aspect of transportation safety technology: 4-point wheelchair securement, 3-point occupant restraint, and the use of a WC19-compliant wheelchair.

TBI and its implications: A training video for continuing education for paramedics and emergency medical technicians I.
Abstract: Video features signs and symptoms of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and how they may influence first responder’s management of people with these injuries. Interviews with TBI survivors and medical staff provide in depth information on the symptoms of physical disabilities that can develop because of a TBI; stressing the point that medical professionals need to make a full medical assessment of the individual to avoid any misinterpretation or assumption of behaviors resulting in the mistreatment of the individual.
