The main purpose of this study is to assess the interest of using wheelchair positioning equipment on the decrease of postural disorders, compared to the standard use of a wheelchair
The stroke is the main cause of hemiplegia in developed countries. Fifteen percent of people who say they have a stroke need, at home, a wheelchair to get from one room to another. The use of a wheelchair can cause postural disorders which can lead to pain, orthopedic deformity and pressure ulcers.
This study aims to assess the interest of using wheelchair positioning equipment (Seat back, Positioning cushion and Belt) on the decrease of postural disorders.
This decrease will be assessed after a standardized course, performed under three different conditions: with the positioning equipment (Positioning cushion and Seat back), with the positioning equipment and the belt and with the wheelchair alone.
Clinical tool used to assess the decrease is the Seated Postural Control Measure for Adults 2.0 (SPCMA 2.0).
This study, which will be the first prospective, interventional, multicenter, controlled and randomized study, could pave the way for guidelines of good practice, for wheelchair positioning of hemiplegic patients in France

| Degree of pelvic posterior tilt | The Primary Outcome Measure is the variation of the Degree of pelvic posterior tilt at the end of the three standardized course. These courses were performed with Standard Wheelchair, Standard Wheelchair + Seat back + Positioning cushion + Belt or with Standard Wheelchair + Seat back + Positioning cushion. The Degree of pelvic posterior tilt was measured using the SPCMA 2.0 score (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe retroversion) | Immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Variation of Degree of pelvic posterior tilt | The variation of the Degree of pelvic posterior tilt was measured between the beginning and the end of the three standardized course using the SPCMA 2.0 score (0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe retroversion) | Baseline and immediately after the end of the procedure, an average of 1 day |
