The International Society of Wheelchair Professionals' Basic Manual Wheelchair Service Provision Test (Version 1) has been widely used across contexts and settings to assess the knowledge of personnel who provide manual wheelchair services. Test Version 2 has been recently developed according to current evidence. The objectives of this study were to assess the internal consistency reliability and construct validity for the Test Version 2. A convenience sample of 156 test-takers completed an online test with 170 multiple-choice questions. Internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha, which ranged from 0.58 to 0.91 across different domains. Most questions (55.9%) were classified as \"easy,\" while 28.2% were \"medium\" difficulty. Regression analysis showed that test-taker characteristics, particularly years of experience, explained nearly half of the variation in test scores (R2 = 0.47). The findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the test's reliability and construct validity.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"S18-S26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143015541","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}

The aim of this paper was to identify assessment tools commonly used by clinicians during WMS evaluations. After the tools were identified by a panel of 12 subject matter experts, a presentation at the 2018 International Seating Symposium in Vancouver, Canada and the 2018 European Seating Symposium in Dublin, Ireland polled attendees via the Sli.do polling application to determine professional opinions of each tool, resulting in face validity for use in wheelchair evaluations. The Lawshe Content Validity Ratio was used to convert this anecdotal data into numerical data, indicating which tools were most and least used by attendees. Finally, a literature search was conducted to determine the reliability, validity, and International Classification of Functioning, Disability, & Health domain for each measure. The findings indicate that while there are many standardized and reliable assessment tools available for wheeled mobility and seating evaluations, most clinicians use only a few standardized assessment tools during WMS evaluations.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"S9-S17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39474235","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}

The AFPI consists of 46 items organized by functional domains. A total of N = 22 PwPD completed the AFPI twice. The median response time between these two time points was four days. Test-retest reliability of overall scores was assessed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient model (ICC, 3.1). The weighted kappa coefficient was applied to conduct an item analysis, demonstrating moderate to substantial agreement in all but one of the items. During the second administration, validity was established by correlating the number of hours of assistance and total AFPI scores with the SCI-FI Self-Care and Basic Mobility Short Form Questionnaires. Results indicate that the AFPI demonstrates good to very good validity as an assessment tool and outcome measure in recommending and evaluating the impact of MSHT for PwPD.

While technologies are increasingly used in healthcare to support older adults, their application highly depends on cultural factors. Italy, with one of Europe's highest aging populations and low digital advancement, offers an interesting scenario for discussing the digitalization of healthcare services for older adults. This study provides a state-of-the-art overview of technologies used in Italy to promote healthy aging. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases for primary studies published from 2000 to May 2024 that employed technological solutions for healthcare in healthy Italian older adults. Fifteen studies met the criteria: four assessed the impact of technological interventions on health variables like physical efficiency, nutrition, and cognition, with positive results; 13 examined usability, user experience, and expectations, overall finding good acceptance and positive attitudes. While research on technology use in promoting healthy aging in Italy is still limited, our findings suggest that digital solutions are feasible for the older population. These results are considered within the context of the Italian healthcare system, with suggestions for future directions for clinicians.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143417051","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}

To gain greater insight into AAC communication outcomes, we used the communicative competence framework to determine which areas of AAC intervention have received the greatest attention and how these outcomes are being measured. The following data were charted from the 77 studies that met the inclusion criteria for the scoping review: study design, study participants, study communication target (e.g., language, word learning, etc.), and communication outcome measurements. Across the included studies, researchers used a variety of standardized and non-standardized measures to assess outcomes. Seventy-seven percent of the studies assessed social skills and 62% assessed linguistic skills. A limited number of studies measured operational (14%), strategic (4%), and psychosocial (18%) skills.

International classification systems, research evidence, regulatory and service delivery frameworks underpin six optional tools: supports, outcomes, costs, rights, service delivery pathway and customer experience. Designed to empower the consumer-as-researcher and self-advocate, MyATOF has the potential to fill an identified gap in policy-relevant, consumer-focussed and consumer-directed outcome measurement in Australia and internationally. This paper presents the need for consumer-focussed measurement and articulates the conceptual foundations of MyATOF.

After translating the scale into Persian based on IQULA, face and content validity were determined. The divergent validity of the scale was examined through its relationship with the Orthotics and Prosthetics Users' Survey (OPUS). Reliability of the tool was evaluated using an internal consistency and test-retest method over two weeks with 50 patients with neurological disorders and a history of using assistive devices for at least six months. The face and content validity of the PIADS was confirmed. The ICC for all subscales was higher than 0.78, which indicates a good correlation. However, the divergent validity of the scale with the OPUS scale was not confirmed. The Persian version of PIADS is a valid and reliable measure for patients with neurological disorders in Iran.","PeriodicalId":51568,"journal":{"name":"Assistive Technology","volume":" ","pages":"S125-S130"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141447587","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}
