Abstract

User-friendly rehabilitation exercise devices can enhance health and quality of life through the convergence of information communication and medical technology. The development of rehabilitation exercise devices accessible to individuals with disabilities is important. We aimed to investigate the convenience, safety, and effectiveness of the developed rehabilitation exercise device for individuals with disabilities. A usability evaluation of the developed rehabilitation exercise device was conducted with five rehabilitation exercise experts and six athletes with disabilities using a questionnaire, the reliability of the revised questionnaire was r=0.87. Qualitative analysis was conducted using semistructured interviews following the testing of the upper limb rehabilitation exercise device by the two user groups. In the usability evaluation survey of the developed rehabilitation exercise device, the results were very positive, with an overall score of 4.25 out of 5. The highest score was assigned to the convenience of the device, followed by the effectiveness of the exercise and the safety of the device. The developed rehabilitation exercise device allows for three types of strength improvement exercises, including isometric, isokinetic, and isotonic exercises, all within a single device. Given that it is constructed with a wire system, it can be adapted to various exercise methods, depending on the type of disability. The device can be used by both nondisabled and disabled individuals, allowing for various exercise methods. The evaluation results indicate that the proposed device is highly versatile and practical.

残疾人智能上肢康复训练设备的可用性评估。

通过信息通信和医疗技术的融合，方便用户使用的康复锻炼设备可以提高健康水平和生活质量。开发方便残障人士使用的康复锻炼设备非常重要。我们的目的是调查所开发的康复锻炼设备对残疾人的便利性、安全性和有效性。我们使用问卷对五名康复锻炼专家和六名残疾运动员进行了康复锻炼设备的可用性评估，修订问卷的信度为 r=0.87。在两个用户组对上肢康复训练装置进行测试后，采用半结构式访谈进行了定性分析。在对所开发的康复训练器械进行的可用性评估调查中，结果非常正面，总得分为 4.25 分（满分 5 分）。得分最高的是设备的便利性，其次是锻炼的有效性和设备的安全性。所开发的康复训练装置可进行三种类型的力量改善练习，包括等距、等动和等张练习，所有这些练习均可在一个装置中完成。由于该装置采用钢丝系统结构，因此可根据残疾类型适用于各种锻炼方法。非残疾人和残疾人都可以使用该装置，从而实现各种锻炼方法。评估结果表明，拟议的装置具有很强的通用性和实用性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
