The purpose of this study was to develop and assess the content validity of a new tool, the Caregiver Assisted Transfer Technique Instrument (CATT), which could be used to provide an objective indicator of transfer performance. Item importance, clarity, and appropriateness of responses were rated on a five-point Likert scale by clinicians (n = 15), informal caregivers (n = 10), and individuals with spinal cord injury (n = 5). The content validity index and modified Kappa of each item was calculated. Participants also provided qualitative feedback on item content. In general, items were rated favorably for their importance (4.47 to 5.00), clarity (4.33 to 4.90), and appropriateness of responses (4.38 to 4.90), and most items had excellent content validity (k* ≥ 0.75). Feedback from participants led to the creation of two versions of the CATT: one for manual lifting techniques (CATT-M) and one for transfers performed via lift-based technologies (CATT-L). Future work will focus on establishing the reliability and validity of the CATT as well as developing training and education interventions surrounding assisted transfers.","PeriodicalId":282300,"journal":{"name":"Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA","volume":"6 4","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140652879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing the AR = PIADS instrument involved forward and backward translation by two independent teams of bilingual, Arabic-English speakers (n = 5) and a quality and usability review by a panel of people with disabilities (n = 18). The emergent version was evaluated with a group of experienced Arabic-speaking Assistive Technology users (n = 67) for its psychometric properties. Initial results demonstrate a favorable comparison for 16 of the 26 questionnaire items with scores recorded for the original, English language version. Internal consistency, measured using Cronbach's alpha, yielded a range of 0.97-0.99 for AR-PIADS while the new instrument's reliability was assessed using an intraclass correlation coefficient resulting in scores within the range of 0.86-0.97 for the overall instrument. Despite these positive results however, the translation process did highlight a number of challenges with language and cultural interpretation of the translated instrument. This suggests that further work is warranted to explore its utility in service provision.","PeriodicalId":282300,"journal":{"name":"Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA","volume":"13 10","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140652254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What types of ATTT outputs occur, how, and what is the relative productivity of the most frequently funded universities and small businesses performing with funding by NIDILRR grants? An online search was conducted for indications of ATTT from grants funded from 1983-2021 through publicly available databases, the National Rehabilitation Information Center (NARIC), and the internet. This data was then categorized across relevant output types and analyzed. NIDILRR funded 662 organizations and 951 different investigators from 1983 to 2021. The NIDILRR-funded portfolio includes 6,996 papers, 438 informational websites, 163 patents, 120 software products, and 29 hardware products. Compared to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), NIDILRR produced slightly more products per dollar. Our results highlight the substantial portfolio of technology-related outputs generated with NIDILRR funding and demonstrate how productivity measures can be calculated to guide future funding strategies.","PeriodicalId":282300,"journal":{"name":"Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA","volume":" 46","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140690484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wheelchair use is a well-known risk of pressure injury. A connected pressure detection system could help to prevent this complication that is linked to long durations of sitting, provided that user expectations are understood. The aim of this study was to explore the needs of wheelchair users (WU) regarding connected pressure detection systems to prevent pressure injury. A cross-section survey-based study of WU was conducted, using an anonymous electronic questionnaire posted from July 2019 to June 2020. Eighty-eight people responded. The majority were power wheelchair users (72.7%); one third (33.0%) had already sustained a pressure injury; only 17.0% knew of the existence of pressure detection systems, nevertheless 78.4% believed that they could be useful in daily life. The feature that received the highest rating was a pressure warning alarm (4.2/5 points). The majority (71.6%) preferred reminder-alerts to be set according to their habits and not according to medical guidelines. In conclusion, pressure detecting systems were perceived as useful to prevent pressure injuries by both manual and power wheelchair users. Work is needed to inform potential users of the existence of such systems.","PeriodicalId":282300,"journal":{"name":"Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA","volume":"5 14","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140710478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model was used to examine the outcomes of former long-term nursing home residents using AT. The model was also used as a framework to facilitate quantitative variable identification and categorization, emphasize the interconnectivity between domain variables, and explore the infrastructural supports necessary for the successful community reintegration of deinstitutionalized AT users. Meaningful integration of theory into practice is the essential next step in generating socially responsive research that addresses AT consumer needs and moves the field forward.","PeriodicalId":282300,"journal":{"name":"Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA","volume":"18 3","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140715029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While assistive technology is crucial, it must be complemented by inclusive learning options and other systemic interventions. Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory guides this approach. A project in South Africa's Northern Cape Province utilized Acumen's Lean Data methodology for monitoring and evaluation. This methodology emphasizes rapid, technology-enabled data collection to inform stakeholders effectively. The project focused on disability awareness, referral systems, assistive technology provision, and early childhood development, adapting programs for various stakeholders and virtual delivery during COVID-19 lockdowns. Results underscored the interconnectedness of assistive technology with broader inclusion efforts and the importance of adaptability and continuous assessment. Further research is recommended to explore the project's role in fostering disability inclusion comprehensively.
