Description

This study aimed to understand the practices, limitations, and unmet needs related to standing, mobility, and transfers among persons with locomotor impairments in India. This dataset contains data from a cross-sectional virtual survey conducted with 85 individuals aged 13–75 years with locomotor impairments across India. The survey included 74 qualitative and quantitative questions covering standing, transfers, and mobility.

Steps to reproduce

Data were collected through a cross-sectional, virtual survey administered to a total of 85 individuals with locomotor impairments (aged 18–75 years) who were recruited through convenience sampling. Eligibility was determined using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and informed consent was obtained from all participants. A structured, in-house questionnaire comprising 74 questions was administered by four trained surveyors in the participant’s preferred language. Participants could either self-complete the survey or respond via telephone or virtual interviews, with sessions lasting 45–60 minutes. The questionnaire was designed to collect both qualitative and quantitative data across different domains.
