Usability of mobile shower commodes for adults with spinal cord injury / Emma L. Friesen in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017) . - p. 63-72 Titre : Usability of mobile shower commodes for adults with spinal cord injury Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Emma L. Friesen ; Deborah Theodoros ; Trevor G. Russel Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 63-72 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : activité de la vie journalière  blessé médullaire  évaluation  rehabilitation Résumé : Introduction This paper describes the usability of mobile shower commodes for adults with spinal cord injury, as measured by the new electronic Mobile Shower Commode Assessment Tool Version 1.0 (eMAST 1.0). Method A retrospective analysis of data collected for a cross-sectional validation study with adults aged 18 years or older, living with spinal cord injury, who use mobile shower commodes for toileting and/or showering (n = 32), was conducted. Usability was measured using the eMAST 1.0. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were analysed using directed content analysis. Results Overall usability on both the features and performance subscales was rated as high to very high. Ratings of very low to low usability were reported for portability/foldability/packability (41%, n = 13), mobile shower commode stability (25%, n = 8), positioning and repositioning (25%, n = 8), seat cushioning (25%, n = 8), and lower leg supports (22%, n = 7). Items receiving the highest number of qualitative comments included lower leg supports, seating, propelling and manoeuvring, cleaning and maintenance, and stability. Conclusion Results across the eMAST 1.0’s subscales showed high to very high usability. However, analysis of individual items and qualitative comments showed specific areas of reduced usability for individual users. Item-level responses and qualitative comments suggest research is urgently needed in the areas of stability, portability, durability, and seating. Studies exploring use of the eMAST 1.0 during initial provision, and after short- and long-term mobile shower commode use, are also needed.

Equipment provision after stroke: A scoping review of the use of personal care and mobility aids in rehabilitation / Pauline Boland in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017) . - p. 73-88 Titre : Equipment provision after stroke: A scoping review of the use of personal care and mobility aids in rehabilitation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Pauline Boland ; William Levack ; Meredith Perry ; Fiona P. Graham Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 73-88 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : dispositifs d'assistance au mouvement  accident vasculaire cérébral  handicap Résumé : Introduction The aim of this scoping review was to examine and synthesise literature on adaptive equipment use for personal care and mobility after stroke. Method We searched databases including Medline, EMBASE, AMED, CINAHL and Scopus to February 2016. Two authors independently screened 789 titles, identifying 28 studies for inclusion in the review. Results Findings were grouped into four themes: (1) stroke-specific impairments and consequences for equipment use and training; (2) meaning of equipment for people with stroke; (3) cost of equipment after stroke; and (4) conflicts between equipment provision and models of stroke rehabilitation. Conclusion The wide range of impairments after stroke increases complexity of how people use equipment. Nonetheless, training needs and the relationship between social context, identity and equipment use are increasingly better understood,. The findings highlight a tension between practice that seeks to re-train function by ‘normal’ movement without equipment and restoration of function by using compensation strategies involving use of equipment. However, there is no evidence that compensation strategies impede recovery of physical abilities. High-quality evidence about costs of equipment after stroke, which could inform policy decisions, is urgently needed.

Electronic assistive technology used by people with acquired brain injury in shared supported accommodation: Implications for occupational therapy / Rebecca Jamwal in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017) . - p. 89-98 Titre : Electronic assistive technology used by people with acquired brain injury in shared supported accommodation: Implications for occupational therapy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rebecca Jamwal ; Libby Callaway ; Jane Ackrel ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 89-98 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : traumatisme cérébral  dispositifs d'assistance au mouvement  ergothérapie Résumé : Introduction People with severe acquired brain injury often require lifetime support, sometimes received from paid workers if living in shared supported accommodation. Electronic assistive technology may offer a less intrusive method of support that can enable autonomous participation and deliver cost savings. However, research on rates, barriers, and facilitators of electronic assistive technology uptake is lacking. This study aimed to identify electronic assistive technology types used by people with acquired brain injury living in shared supported accommodation, assess user satisfaction and psychosocial impact of electronic assistive technology, detail the impact of technology use on respondents’ participation and support needs, and describe barriers and/or facilitators to electronic assistive technology uptake and ongoing use. Method Participants were identified electronic assistive technology users with acquired brain injury living in shared supported accommodation in Australia (N = 22). Mixed methods data were collected using semi-structured interviews and published measures of support need, electronic assistive technology satisfaction, and psychosocial impact. Results Participants reported satisfaction with the devices they used, and positive psychosocial outcomes. Areas impacted by electronic assistive technology, key facilitators and barriers to electronic assistive technology use, and implications for occupational therapists working to deliver electronic assistive technology solutions were identified. Conclusion Electronic assistive technology use by this group can positively influence both everyday functioning and participation. Skilled prescription and ongoing support services are necessary to maximise uptake and use.

Virtually home: Exploring the potential of virtual reality to support patient discharge after stroke / Kate Threapleton in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017) . - p. 99-107 Titre : Virtually home: Exploring the potential of virtual reality to support patient discharge after stroke Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kate Threapleton ; Karen Newberry ; Greg Sutton ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 99-107 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ergothérapie  réalité virtuelle  accident vasculaire cérébral  sortie du patient Résumé : Introduction The level of assessment and intervention received by patients prior to discharge varies widely across stroke services in the United Kingdom. This study aimed to explore the potential value of virtual reality in preparing patients for discharge following stroke. Method Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 13 occupational therapists, eight patients with a stroke and four community stroke survivors. Views were sought of the perceived acceptability, potential utility and limitations of a ‘virtual home’ environment for use in pre-discharge education and assessment. Data were analysed thematically. Findings Interviewees found the virtual home to be an acceptable and visual means of facilitating discussions about discharge. It was perceived as valuable in assessing patient insight into safety risks and exploring the implications of installing assistive equipment at home. Limitations were identified relating to specific software issues and the use of virtual reality with patients with cognitive or perceptual impairments. Conclusion The results demonstrate the potential utility of the virtual home within stroke rehabilitation. Patients and therapists engaged with the virtual home and, moreover, made practical suggestions for future development. Feasibility and pilot testing in a clinical setting is required to compare the use of the virtual home with traditional approaches of pre-discharge assessment.

Therapeutic potential and ownership of commercially available consoles in children with cerebral palsy / William Farr in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017) . - p. 108-116 Titre : Therapeutic potential and ownership of commercially available consoles in children with cerebral palsy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : William Farr ; Dido Green ; Ian Male ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 108-116 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : infirmité motrice cérébrale  jeu video  dispositifs d'assistance au mouvement Résumé : Introduction We conducted a survey amongst families of children with cerebral palsy to ascertain the ownership and therapeutic use and potential of commercial games consoles to improve motor function. Method Three hundred families in South East England were identified through clinical records, and were requested to complete an anonymised questionnaire. Results A total of 61 families (20% response) returned a completed questionnaire with 41 (68%) identified males and 19 (32%) identified females with cerebral palsy, with a mean age of 11 years 5 months (SD 3Y 7M). The large majority of families, 59 (97%), owned a commercial console and the child used this for 50–300 minutes a week. Returns by severity of motor impairment were: Gross Motor Function Classification System I (22%), II (32%), III (13%), IV (15%), V (18%). Consoles were used regularly for play across all Gross Motor Function Classification System categories. Conclusion The potential of games consoles, as home-based virtual reality therapy, in improving the motor function of children with cerebral palsy should be appropriately tested in a randomised controlled trial. Wide ownership, and the relative ease with which children engage in the use of commercially-based virtual reality therapy systems, suggests potential as a means of augmenting therapy protocols, taking advantage of interest and participation patterns of families.

Method A repeated measures design was used to measure outcomes. Four older adult women with low vision completed 10 weekly sessions of group training in tablet use. The feasibility of this research method and intervention was examined by evaluating recruitment capability, data collection procedures, outcome measures, intervention procedures, resources, and preliminary responses to intervention. Results The four participants were all women, with a mean age of 74.25 years (68–81). Visual acuity ranged from 20/160 to 20/4000. Mean change in performance and satisfaction on the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure were 3.45 and 3.65, respectively. Daily tablet use increased from 15 minutes at pretest to 3 hours at posttest to 4.5 hours at follow-up. Conclusion Group training in computer tablet use for older adults with low vision shows promise to improve performance and satisfaction in a variety of daily activities. With appropriate resources, the research method is feasible for a larger study examining this community-based intervention for older adults with low vision.

Method This critical ethnography engaged 10 older adults with age-related vision loss in narrative interviews, participant observation sessions, and semi-structured in-depth interviews to understand their decision-making processes related to the acquisition and use of low vision assistive devices to support occupational engagement. Findings Study findings focused on the benefits and barriers to technology acquisition and use. Benefits of technology acquisition included: enhanced occupational engagement; independence; safety; insurance; and validation of the disability, while the barriers to technology acquisition included: cost; training; usability; lack of awareness of low vision rehabilitation services; fear of being taken advantage of; and desire to preserve a preferred self-image. Conclusion Considering the low uptake of vision rehabilitation services, the study findings are important to occupational therapy. A better understanding of the perceived benefits and barriers to technology adoption from the perspective of older adults will help occupational therapists maximize treatment planning designed to enhance the occupational engagement of older adults aging with vision loss.

Telecare, obtrusiveness, acceptance and use: An empirical exploration / Kate Hamblin in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017) . - p. 132-138 Titre : Telecare, obtrusiveness, acceptance and use: An empirical exploration Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kate Hamblin Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 132-138 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : télémédecine  indiscrétion Résumé : Introduction Telecare is increasingly part of the United Kingdom (UK)’s health and social care arrangements, and therefore occupational therapists’ practice. Understanding factors which influence telecare’s acceptance and usage is important to ensure optimal outcomes, both for service users and health and social care systems. Method This paper uses data collected by a qualitative, multi-method, longitudinal research study (n = 60) to explore whether an American model of ‘obtrusiveness’ is applicable to the UK context by examining what factors influence older adults’ acceptance and use of telecare. Findings The obtrusiveness model is broadly applicable to the UK context, but there are also two further issues which affected the acceptance and use of telecare: the degree of control a service user feels they have and the information and support they receive in using their devices. Conclusion The obtrusiveness model, plus the two additions (control and information), highlight important issues which could assist professionals working with telecare, including occupational therapists, in ensuring telecare is both accepted and well used.
