Like the PIDA, the PCDA was developed to enhance mobility, measure actual performance (not only capability) and reflect the diversity of individual driving requirements in a variety of community settings. The PCDA accounts for and evaluates interactions between the driver, the power-mobility device and the larger environment, and suggests ways to enhance this relationship with the overall aim of increasing community accessibility.
