The study included seven Turkish people with aphasia.

The selection of categories and words for inclusion in the application was based on the frequency and typicality features. The 12-week speech-language treatment sessions were divided into two sections. During the first six weeks, a speech-language pathologist (SLP) used the software to train people. After the first part, the SLP applied the T-RAT. Participants utilized the software at home in the second part. All participants took the ADD, T-RAT, and Software Evaluation Questionnaire following the second part. Participants' naming abilities improved in all tests. Both therapy sessions with the SLP and those in which participants used the program independently demonstrated this improvement. Participants also reported high levels of treatment satisfaction. Cueing hierarchy approaches used in the software helped to improve naming skills in people with aphasia (PWA), independent of type, stage, or severity of aphasia. The findings of this study indicate that both sessions directed by an SLP and independent use of the software by participants can positively impact the therapy process with the developed software.","PeriodicalId":47806,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Rehabilitation-Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mixed methods study was performed with manual wheelchair users at The Ohio State University Martha Morehouse Clinic. Demographic data, wheelchair information, failure counts, and consequences suffered by the user were collected using surveys. Wheelchair usage was collected for a month using a sensor. A servicing smartphone app that connects with the sensor was demonstrated as a new servicing technology, and participant preferences were recorded. Thirty participants completed the survey testing procedures. Twenty-three collected usage data and eighteen collected it for over a week. At least 215 wheelchair part failures with an average of 13.4 ± 14.8 self-reported part failures and 4.7 ± 4.8 high-risk failures occurred in 12 months before the first study visit. Two weeks of collected data from 18 participants showed that normalised road shocks, age, and weight were associated with the condition of wheels and frames, as well as self-reported caster failures. Participants responded with a favourable preference for the new wheelchair servicing technology, with more than half of them interested in buying and using it. Risk factors like road shocks and user's age and weight are associated with part damage towards failures and self-reported failures that risk injury. These factors can be modelled to develop and test the efficacy of wheelchair inspection schedules.","PeriodicalId":47806,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Rehabilitation-Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review aims to summarize existing WSTr methods for individuals with SCI/disabilities and propose the use of Augmented Reality (AR)-enhanced Immediate Visual Feedback (ARe-IVF) learning modules for wheelie and curbing skill training.Methods: The proposed ARe-IVF learning modules will incorporate AR-enhanced visual feedback, allowing users to visualize spatial and temporal aspects of wheelchair skills and assess their performance through computer vision technology. These modules are designed to tailor the learning experience to each user's SCI level, age, gender, body height, and weight. Key features of the ARe-IVF modules include verbal cues, computer graphic indications, and AR-enhanced feedback to support skill acquisition.Results: The anticipated outcomes of the ARe-IVF modules include improved safety and effectiveness in WSTr by providing intuitive and concise guidance for key movements in wheelie and curbing maneuvers. Additionally, these modules offer an accessible alternative WSTr method for manual wheelchair users, caregivers, and rehabilitation therapists, with potential applications in Rehabilitation Centers, Hospitals, or home settings.Conclusion: The ARe-IVF learning modules present an innovative approach to WSTr for manual wheelchair users with SCI, so that the modules provide promising learning outcomes through tailored, AR-supported feedback. This approach may empower wheelchair users to develop advanced skills with increased safety and confidence, ultimately improving rehabilitation outcomes and expanding training accessibility.","PeriodicalId":47806,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Rehabilitation-Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EBSCOhost, EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were searched for original research articles from SA countries. In this study, impairment and disability refer to functional limitations restricting individuals from performing activities, including visual, hearing, speaking, cognitive, mobility, and self-care difficulties. The review included full-text, English-language articles addressing any impairment and disability, without restrictions on publication date. This review identified 105 articles distributed over the six impairment and disability domains: visual, hearing, mobility, self-care, speaking, and cognitive. Most evidence originated from India (50.5%) and focused on visual impairments (53.3%). The review identified that heterogeneity in methodologies, case identification definitions, and study settings contributed to variations in prevalence estimation and restricted the comparability within and across countries. Besides, the uneven distribution of studies across countries suggests varying inclinations of countries toward specific impairment and disability domains. The review identified variations in prevalence due to differences in methodologies, definitions, and contexts. The review also identified the uneven distribution of studies, limited evidence on ATs, reliance on self-reported data, and lack of nationally representative research. Future research should use standardised case identification and evidence-based approaches to enhance comparability and minimise response biases.","PeriodicalId":47806,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Rehabilitation-Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At four orientation points along the route-the starting point, Corner A, Corner B, and the endpoint-participants indicated the direction of the other points by aligning a raised, tapered rectangle attached to a horizontal digital protractor.Results and discussion: During the physical and mental walking tasks, the participants' mean orientation error values, representing the error in angle from the correct orientation, approximated zero for all orientation directions. However, the mean absolute error, i.e. the absolute value of the orientation error, ranged from 12.5° to 32.5° across different orientation points and tasks. As the participants followed the route, the absolute error relative to the next direction of travel increased, and the absolute errors for orientation points they had passed were substantially large. These results indicate that although tactile maps do not always enable precise orientation, they provide navigators with a surveyed spatial understanding that assists orientation through path integration. Furthermore, the mean difference in orientation error between mental and walking tasks measured on the same route for all directions was not significantly different from zero. This suggests that mental imagery walking with the tactile map helps predict orientation performance by path integration in navigators without vision.","PeriodicalId":47806,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Rehabilitation-Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, videoconferencing has limitations, including restricted field of view and poor video quality, affecting hazard identification accuracy. This study aims to introduce and evaluate a three-dimensional (3D) model as an alternative technology for remote home assessments.Materials and methods: We created 3D models using a 360-degree camera and mobile app. Five occupational therapists individually completed virtual training and practice sessions to familiarize themselves with using the 3D model. Each participant then conducted a remote home assessment using the 3D model and completed questionnaires, System Usability Scale (SUS), and semi-structured interviews.Results: Participants spent an average of 10 min training and practicing with the 3D model, and most reported either maintaining or gaining confidence in using it compared to before. All participants successfully completed the assessments, which took an average of 17 min. They rated the 3D model as easy to use, with an average SUS score of 78.5. Participants preferred the 3D model over videoconferencing, noting that it effectively addressed current challenges, and expressed their willingness to integrate it into clinical practice.Conclusion: This study demonstrates that 3D models offer a promising option for remote home assessments. With minimal training, occupational therapists could conduct more effective assessments. It is recommended to use 3D models for an initial understanding of the home environment before videoconferencing-based assessments to enhance the remote assessment experience for occupational therapists and clients.","PeriodicalId":47806,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Rehabilitation-Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142606884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An eight-week learning program consisted of a lecture on using a 3D printer and related software, a group discussion to integrate 3D printing into their clinical practices, and the implementation in their workplace. Outcome measures included the perception of 3D printing technology assessed by the Japanese version of the modified Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire for 3D printing technology (TAM-J). Assessment time points were pre-and post-intervention. As a result, all participants in the intervention group became capable of producing 3D-printed customized assistive devices. In the within-group analyses, the intervention group showed significant improvements in the TAM-J perception ease of use score (p = 0.012) with a large effect size (r = 0.75). Between-group analyses showed that the intervention group gained an additional improvement in the TAM-J perception ease of use score (p = 0.027) with a moderate effect size (r = 0. 43), indicating a significant improvement in the perceived ease of use of 3D printing technology in the intervention group.

Articles were selected based on their relevance to the development of wheelchairs and their focus on reducing stigma or enhancing well-being for post-stroke older adults.Results: Seventy articles were chosen to be meticulously reviewed and categorized into sub-themes. This categorization led to the creation of a comprehensive synthesis summary to address each question. The results are further synthesized to formulate a potential theoretical proposition for future investigation. The results suggest enhancing wheelchair design focusing on visibility, symbolism, usefulness, aesthetics, and adaptability through user empowerment and cultural interventions that can effectively reduce stigma, thereby improving the well-being, self-competence, and life quality of post-stroke older adults.Conclusion: The findings offer a design framework for wheelchair innovation specifically aimed at reducing the stigmatizing conditions to improve the well-being of post-stroke older adults through an interdisciplinary perspective.

The purposes of this small-scale trial were to explore the use of the IndieTrainer system to provide PWC skills training and document parental satisfaction with the IndieTrainer system. We hypothesized that PWC skills training provided using the IndieTrainer system would result in improvements in both children's understanding of how to use a PWC and their PWC skill execution, and that parental satisfaction would be high. An open-label, single-arm trial was conduct as follows: (a) Baseline testing (T0); (b) A 3-week intervention consisting of two, 60-min-PWC skills training sessions per week; (c) Post-intervention testing (T1); and (d) A single session retention trial held 4 weeks after completion of the intervention (T2).
