Abstract

BACKGROUND: Physical activity as one of the major lifestyle-related health determinants is partially addressed by the Montreal Walking Exoskeleton Satisfaction and Perspectives-Questionnaire (MWESP-Q). OBJECTIVE: To document satisfaction of people with chronic spinal cord injury after the completion of a 10 to 16 weeks of the wearable robotic exoskeleton-assisted walking program, with the MWESP-Q updated to a context of health promotion. METHODS: Following a walking program (10–16 weeks), wheelchair users with chronic SCI completed the MWESP-Q online. Modification of the original questionnaire was conducted with 4 experts to ensure its content validity with a human framework to promote physical activity for health. RESULTS: Ten wheelchair users completed the questionnaire (men = 6; 45.8 ± 13.4 years, SCI duration: 10.1 ± 5.8 years). Participants strongly agreed to be satisfied with the overall program; agreed to be satisfied towards exoskeleton, motivation to engage in physical activity, learnability and program attributes; rated “medium effort” for physical and cognitive exertion during training; reported light improvements for health benefit domain, but light to moderate improvements for general endurance (mean 5.5 /7, SD 1.4) and psychological well-being (mean 5.7 /7, SD 1.3). CONCLUSIONS: The updated MWESP-Q is now better equipped to measure physical and cognitive efforts in physical activity and changes in body and organic systems and in capabilities (health promotion). The updated MWESP-Q has 54 statements (14 additional statements and 1 deleted) organized around seven domains. The original measure was replaced by three 7-point Likert scales, one regarding agreement level (40 statements), level of effort (12 statements), and level of change (2 statements).

在使用可穿戴机器人外骨骼进行为期 16 周的步行训练后,更新蒙特利尔步行外骨骼满意度和观点问卷 (MWESP-Q)
背景:体育锻炼是与生活方式相关的主要健康决定因素之一,蒙特利尔行走外骨骼满意度和观点调查问卷(MWESP-Q)部分涉及了这一问题。目的:记录慢性脊髓损伤患者在完成为期 10 到 16 周的可穿戴机器人外骨骼辅助行走项目后的满意度,并将 MWESP-Q 更新为健康促进背景。方法:在步行计划(10-16 周)结束后,患有慢性 SCI 的轮椅使用者在线填写了 MWESP-Q。与 4 位专家一起对原始问卷进行了修改,以确保其内容在人类框架下的有效性,从而促进体育锻炼,增进健康。结果:10 名轮椅使用者完成了问卷调查(男性 = 6;45.8 ± 13.4 岁,SCI 病程:10.1 ± 5.8 年)。参与者对整个项目表示非常满意;对外骨骼、参与体育锻炼的动力、可学习性和项目属性表示满意;将训练期间的体力和认知消耗评为 "中等强度";报告称在健康受益领域有轻度改善,但在一般耐力(平均值为 5.5 /7,标准差为 1.4)和心理健康(平均值为 5.7 /7,标准差为 1.3)方面有轻度至中度改善。结论:更新后的 MWESP-Q 现在能更好地测量体育活动中的体力和认知努力,以及身体和有机系统和能力(健康促进)的变化。更新后的 MWESP-Q 包含 54 项陈述(新增 14 项陈述,删除 1 项陈述),围绕七个领域展开。原来的测量方法被三个 7 分李克特量表所取代,其中一个涉及同意程度(40 个陈述)、努力程度(12 个陈述)和变化程度(2 个陈述)。
